The prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBSAg) and antibody (anti-HBS) was determined in 531 white and 519 black diabetic outpatients and in appropriate white and black control populations. There was no difference between the prevalence of either HBSAg or anti-HBS in either the white or black diabetics and that in the white and black controls. These findings make it unlikely that the vast majority of patients with diabetes mellitus have either an increased susceptibility to infection by the hepatitis B virus or an impaired ability to clear the virus once they are infected.
对531名白人糖尿病门诊患者、519名黑人糖尿病门诊患者以及相应的白人和黑人对照人群，测定了乙肝表面抗原（HBSAg）和抗体（抗-HBS）的流行情况。无论是白人还是黑人糖尿病患者，其HBSAg或抗-HBS的流行率与白人和黑人对照人群均无差异。这些研究结果表明，绝大多数糖尿病患者感染乙肝病毒的易感性不太可能增加，或者感染病毒后清除病毒的能力不太可能受损。
