Abstract

Because of increasing migration, European countries are facing new pathogens and diseases, such as human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8). We assessed the prevalence of HHV-8 using a new ELISA test in 140 pregnant women delivering in Geneva (Switzerland). The prevalence of HHV-8 was 7.9% globally and up to 33.3% in the African subpopulation. Seropositive women were more frequently older (≥32 years old) than seronegative ones: 81.8% vs. 43%; p = 0.023, respectively. In conclusion, HHV-8 infection is present in European pregnant women. Attention should be given to the emergence of infectious diseases, such as HHV-8, and their impact on health in nonendemic countries.

摘要

由于移民增加，欧洲国家正面临新的病原体和疾病，如人类疱疹病毒8型（HHV-8）。我们采用一种新的酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）检测方法，对在瑞士日内瓦分娩的140名孕妇进行了HHV-8感染率评估。全球范围内HHV-8感染率为7.9%，在非洲亚人群中高达33.3%。血清学阳性的女性比血清学阴性的女性年龄更大（≥32岁）的情况更为常见：分别为81.8%和43%；p = 0.023。总之，欧洲孕妇中存在HHV-8感染。应关注诸如HHV-8等传染病的出现及其对非流行国家健康的影响。
