To determine the relative frequency of known causes of viral hepatitis in the Christchurch community.
Serum samples were collected at a private laboratory from patients aged 15-75 years who had an elevated transaminase of at least twice normal.
One hundred and thirty-three subjects entered the study of whom 32 were positive for Epstein Barr virus, three for cytomegalovirus, nine for hepatitis A virus, and eight for hepatitis B virus. Paired convalescent samples were obtained from 64 of the remaining 81 subjects (17 lost or declined) and seven of these were positive for hepatitis C. Assuming a similar percentage in the lost/declined group this corrects to nine.
The relative frequency of viral agents causing hepatitis was Epstein Barr virus 52%, cytomegalovirus 5%, hepatitis A virus 15%, hepatitis B virus 13% and hepatitis C virus 15%. Hepatitis C virus is a common cause of viral hepatitis in the Christchurch community.
确定克赖斯特彻奇社区已知病毒性肝炎病因的相对频率。
在一家私人实验室收集了年龄在15至75岁之间、转氨酶至少升高至正常水平两倍的患者的血清样本。
133名受试者进入研究,其中32人 Epstein Barr病毒检测呈阳性,3人巨细胞病毒检测呈阳性,9人甲型肝炎病毒检测呈阳性,8人乙型肝炎病毒检测呈阳性。从其余81名受试者中的64人(17人失访或拒绝)获取了配对的恢复期样本,其中7人丙型肝炎病毒检测呈阳性。假设失访/拒绝组中的比例相似,校正后为9人。
引起肝炎的病毒病原体相对频率为:Epstein Barr病毒52%,巨细胞病毒5%,甲型肝炎病毒15%,乙型肝炎病毒13%,丙型肝炎病毒15%。丙型肝炎病毒是克赖斯特彻奇社区病毒性肝炎的常见病因。
