One hundred children with beta-thalassemia major were studied prospectively. A one time analysis of serum samples was carried out for a battery of hepatitis B viral markers viz., HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HBc. Seven mutually different serological patterns were observed. The commonest profile seen in 49 patients was a combined seropositivity for anti-HBc and anti-HBs indicating past HBV infection with persisting immunity. Definite evidence of active HBV infection (seropositivity for HBsAg and/or HBeAg) was demonstrated in 10 cases, six of these were HBsAg positive. Anti-HBc positivity alone was detected in 17 patients. The remaining 24 children were seropositive for anti-HBs alone suggesting a possible passive transmission of anti-HBs through blood transfusion.
对100名重型β地中海贫血患儿进行了前瞻性研究。对一组乙肝病毒标志物,即乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)、乙肝表面抗体(抗-HBs)和乙肝核心抗体(抗-HBc)进行了血清样本的一次性分析。观察到七种互不相同的血清学模式。49例患者中最常见的情况是抗-HBc和抗-HBs联合血清阳性,表明既往感染过乙肝病毒且仍有免疫力。10例患者有活动性乙肝病毒感染的确切证据(HBsAg和/或HBeAg血清阳性),其中6例HBsAg阳性。17例患者仅抗-HBc阳性。其余24名儿童仅抗-HBs血清阳性,提示抗-HBs可能通过输血被动传播。
