Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) are at increased risk for complications of liver disease if they become infected with the hepatitis A (HAV) or hepatitis B (HBV) viruses. The authors examined the rates of testing for HAV, HBV, and HCV, as well as rates of vaccination against HAV and HBV in patients with chronic HCV in a random sample (N = 207) of medical records of patients enrolled in a methadone maintenance program. Almost all patients reviewed were tested for HAV, HBV, and HCV. Of the 111 patients with chronic HCV, 53 (48.6%) and 68 (63%) lacked immunity to HAV and HBV, respectively. Of those lacking immunity, 29 (54.7%) and 2 (2.9%) were vaccinated for HAV and HBV, respectively. Despite high rates of testing for HAV, HBV, and HCV at a methadone maintenance program, approximately half of those with chronic HCV eligible for the HAV vaccine received it, and few of those eligible for HBV vaccine received it.
患有慢性丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)的患者,如果感染了甲型肝炎(HAV)或乙型肝炎(HBV)病毒,患肝病并发症的风险会增加。作者检查了在美沙酮维持治疗计划中招募的患者的病历随机样本(N=207)中,慢性 HCV 患者中 HAV、HBV 和 HCV 的检测率,以及 HAV 和 HBV 疫苗的接种率。几乎所有接受检查的患者都接受了 HAV、HBV 和 HCV 的检测。在 111 名慢性 HCV 患者中,分别有 53 名(48.6%)和 68 名(63%)对 HAV 和 HBV 缺乏免疫力。在那些缺乏免疫力的患者中,分别有 29 名(54.7%)和 2 名(2.9%)接种了 HAV 和 HBV 疫苗。尽管在美沙酮维持治疗计划中对 HAV、HBV 和 HCV 进行了高频率的检测,但大约一半有资格接种 HAV 疫苗的慢性 HCV 患者接受了接种,而有资格接种 HBV 疫苗的患者中很少有人接受了接种。
