Levels of hepatitis B antibody titers are affected by age and doses gap time in children from a high endemic area of the western Amazon.
<h4>Background</h4>Despite completion of the vaccine schedule for hepatitis B virus (HBV), children may display levels of HBV surface antibodies (anti-HBs) that are considered inadequate for sufficient protection (<10 IU/L).<h4>Aims</h4>Our aim was to investigate if age an...

All children underwent analysis of anti-HBs and a clinical examination.<h4>Results</h4>We included 522 children (mean age 4.3 ± 0.8 years; 50% male). Median anti-HBs was 28.4 [interquartile range (IQR) 5.4 to 128.6] IU/L and 32% had anti-HBs <10 IU/L. The median gap time from last to preceding dose was 2.4 [IQR 2.1 to 3.3] months. Levels of anti-HBs decreased with higher age (-42% per year increase [95%CI -56% to -24%], p<0.001), but not with longer gap time (+23% per month increase [95%CI -16% to +62%], p = 0.249). After adjusting for relevant confounders, gap time became significant (p = 0.032) and age remained a significant predictor of anti-HBs (p<0.001).<h4>Conclusion</h4>One third of assessed children displayed anti-HBs <10 IU/L.
