We investigated the seroprevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among 258 clergymen-in-training (age range 18-39 years) who represented a donor population that fulfilled the criteria for safe blood transfusion. In all, 15.1% of the men were positive for HBsAg, 4.3% were positive for anti-HCV and 2.7% were HIV-positive; 22.1% were infected with at least one of these viruses. Co-infection with HIV and HBV was found in 0.4% of the subjects, HBV and HCV in 0.4%, and HIV and HCV in 0%. This underscores the importance of routine screening of blood before transfusion, regardless of the donor background.
我们调查了258名接受培训的神职人员(年龄在18至39岁之间)中人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)、乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)和丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染的血清流行率,这些神职人员代表了符合安全输血标准的献血人群。总体而言,15.1%的男性HBsAg呈阳性,4.3%的男性抗-HCV呈阳性,2.7%的男性HIV呈阳性;22.1%的人感染了这些病毒中的至少一种。0.4%的受试者同时感染了HIV和HBV,0.4%的受试者同时感染了HBV和HCV,0%的受试者同时感染了HIV和HCV。这凸显了无论献血者背景如何,输血前进行常规血液筛查的重要性。
