Abstract

Serum samples from 399 voluntary male blood donors were tested for anti-hepatitis E virus (HEV) IgG during July and August 2004 at a blood transfusion centre in Tabriz city. The prevalence of anti-HEV IgG was 7.8% (95% CI: 5.2-10.4). Risk factors for infection included age and a low educational level. Seroprevalence increased significantly with age, from 3.3% in subjects under 30 years of age to 37.5% in individuals 50 years and over. Illiterate individuals were at significantly higher risk for infection than educated persons. The high seropositive rate among our male blood donors is compatible with endemicity of HEV in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

摘要

2004年7月至8月期间，在大不里士市的一个输血中心对399名男性自愿献血者的血清样本进行了抗戊型肝炎病毒（HEV）IgG检测。抗HEV IgG的流行率为7.8%（95%置信区间：5.2 - 10.4）。感染的危险因素包括年龄和低教育水平。血清阳性率随年龄显著增加，从30岁以下人群的3.3%增至50岁及以上人群的37.5%。文盲个体感染风险明显高于受过教育的人。我们男性献血者中较高的血清阳性率与伊朗伊斯兰共和国戊型肝炎病毒的地方性流行情况相符。
