To investigate the prevalence of TT virus(TTV) in a variety of populations in China.
TTV DNA and anti TTV IgG were simultaneously tested by PCR and ELISA.
The positive rate of TTV DNA in the samples of 81 normal subjects, 92 blood donors, 123 hepatitis A-G patients and 32 hepatitis non A-G patients were 2.5%, 2.2%, 19.5% and 28.1%, respectively; and anti-TTV IgG was 1.2%, 3.7%, 26.8% and 34.4%, respectively. There were significant differences between the normal and the blood donor group and the hepatitis group; and among multi-infectious cases, the infection rate of TTV with HBV was as high as 75.0%.
The investigation indicated that TTV infection was very popular in different groups. Some of the normal and blood donor groups infected with TTV could become healthy carries of virus. And the hepatitis patients were the high risk group. In addition, TTV may be transmitted via other pathways besides blood.
调查中国不同人群中TTV病毒(TTV)的感染率。
采用PCR和ELISA方法同时检测TTV DNA和抗TTV IgG。
81例正常受试者、92例献血者、123例甲型至庚型肝炎患者及32例非甲至庚型肝炎患者样本中,TTV DNA阳性率分别为2.5%、2.2%、19.5%和28.1%;抗TTV IgG阳性率分别为1.2%、3.7%、26.8%和34.4%。正常组与献血者组、肝炎组之间存在显著差异;在多重感染病例中,TTV与HBV的合并感染率高达75.0%。
调查表明,TTV感染在不同人群中普遍存在。部分感染TTV的正常人和献血者可能成为病毒健康携带者。肝炎患者是高危人群。此外,TTV可能除血液传播外还存在其他传播途径。
