The samples were tested for HBsAg and Ab using ELISA technique. The results showed that the prevalence of HBsAg and Ab among clinical laboratory personnel was 2.3 and 20 percent respectively. The prevalence of HBsAg and Ab was two folds higher in the males than in female. With increasing duration of employment and age, the prevalence of these markers was increased (phttps://ijph.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijph/article/view/1562Laboratory personnelHBs-AgHBsAb
