Summary

Introduction

Post immune response again VHB after immunization has been slowly reported in health personal in low income country. 5 to 10% of subjects are non-responders (no antibody response after vaccination or less than 10 mIU / mL) or small responders (moderate response that rapidly disappears) according to WHO. These subjects are real subjects at risk for the hepatitis B virus. In addition to this provision, a special recommendation of antibody titer is made for groups said to risk with regard to their socioprofessional activities These include health workers, newborns of HBs Ag positive mothers, parenteral drug users, sex workers, etc. Caregivers in Burkina Faso, a geographical area of high prevalence and high transmission, accumulate the risk of contamination as exposed to daily life
