Examination of COVID-19 and Vaccines in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B

Öz:
Objectives: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has affected more than 16 million people around the worldwide so far. Simultaneously, it has made the follow-up of chronic diseases difficult. We examined the course of co-infection with COVID-19 and chronic hepatitis B in this article and to reveal the vaccination status of these patients. Materials and Methods: Patients requiring oxygen therapy were classified as severe. Also, patients’ demographic and vaccination information was scanned using the hospital data system. Results: A total of 100 patients with chronic hepatitis B were included. There were 53 patients with polymerase chain reaction- confirmed COVID-19. Since these patients needed oxygen, 9 were admitted to clinics and 4 to the intensive care unit. Of 13 patients with severe disease, 5 had Sinovac, 2 had Pfizer-BioNTech, 1 had mixed vaccine, and 5 were unvaccinated. Severe disease was significantly lower in the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinated group. Similarly, the longest interval between vaccine and COVID-19 disease was found in this group. Conclusion: The effect of COVID-19 and hepatitis B co- infection on the severity of COVID-19 and the long-term effects of vaccine-induced immunity in these patients will be guided by epidemiological studies. According to our study, it can be said that the type of vaccine is one of the factors affecting the severity of the disease. Although the number of patients is small, severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 and hepatitis B co-infection do not affect the more severe outcomes.

Kronik Hepatit B Hastalarında COVID-19 Hastalığının ve Aşılarının İncelenmesi

Öz:
Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) şimdiye kadar dünya çapında 16 milyondan fazla insanı etkilemiştir. Aynı zamanda COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde kronik hastalıkların takibi zorlaşmıştır. Bu yazımızda COVID-19 ve kronik hepatit B ko-enfeksiyonunun seyrini ve bu hastaların aşılanma durumlarını irdelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kronik hepatit B’si mevcut olup COVID-19 geçiren hastalardan oksijen tedavisi gerektiren hastalar şiddetli olarak sınıflandırıldı. Ayrıca hastane veri sistemi kullanılarak hastaların demografik ve aşı bilgileri tarandı. Bulgular: Kronik hepatit B’li toplam 100 hasta dahil edildi. Polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu ile doğrulanmış COVID-19 olan 53 hasta vardı. Bu hastaların oksijene ihtiyacı olduğu için 9’u kliniklere, 4’ü de yoğun bakıma yatırıldı. Şiddetli hastalığı olan 13 hastanın 5’inde Sinovac, 2’sinde Pfizer-BioNTech, 1’inde karma aşı vardı ve 5’inde aşı yoktu. Şiddetli hastalık, Pfizer-BioNTech ile aşılanmış grupta önemli ölçüde daha düşüktü. Benzer şekilde aşı ile aşı sonrası COVID-19 geçirme arasındaki en uzun aralık da bu grupta bulundu. Sonuç: COVID-19 ve hepatit B ko-enfeksiyonunun COVID-19’un ciddiyeti üzerindeki etkisi ve bu hastalarda aşı kaynaklı bağışıklığın uzun vadeli etkileri epidemiyolojik çalışmalara ışık tutacaktır. Çalışmamıza göre hastalığın şiddetini etkileyen faktörlerin birinin aşı türü olduğu söylenebilir. Hasta sayısı az olsa da COVID-19 ve hepatit B ko-enfeksiyonu kliniğin daha ciddi olmasına yol açmamıştır.
