Abstract

This was a cross-sectional prevalence study to determine the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and high-risk behaviours in drug abusers admitted to prison in Guilan province, northern Islamic Republic of Iran. Subjects were asked about risk behaviours for acquiring HCV and blood was drawn for HCV antibody testing using ELISA techniques. Of 460 inmates, the mean duration of drug use was 8.9 years; 51.7% were opium users and 18.3% heroin users. HCV risk behaviours were common in this population and 209 inmates (45.4%) were HCV antibody positive (88.9% of intravenous drug abusers). HCV-positive status was significantly associated with intravenous drug use, having skin tattoos and number of times in prison.

摘要

这是一项横断面患病率研究，旨在确定伊朗伊斯兰共和国北部吉兰省入狱吸毒者中丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）的患病率及高危行为。研究对象被问及感染HCV的风险行为，并采集血液，采用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）技术检测HCV抗体。在460名囚犯中，平均吸毒时长为8.9年；51.7%为鸦片使用者，18.3%为海洛因使用者。HCV风险行为在该人群中很常见，209名囚犯（45.4%）HCV抗体呈阳性（静脉注射吸毒者的比例为88.9%）。HCV阳性状态与静脉注射吸毒、有纹身以及入狱次数显著相关。
