In order to investigate the seroprevalence of HBV and HCV in neapolitan area, we studied blood specimens of 180 IVDAs, 115 CAH patients and 72 healthy subjects using hepatitis B core (anti-HBs) and hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV). High frequency of anti-HBs (80.9%) and strong association with an unexpected seroprevalence of anti-HCV (67%) was found in CAH patients. Our study does not explain these results, but suggest either a possible inference between both viruses or that serum from CAH subjects contains a component that gives false positivity.
为了调查那不勒斯地区乙肝病毒（HBV）和丙肝病毒（HCV）的血清流行率，我们使用乙肝核心抗体（抗-HBs）和丙肝抗体（抗-HCV）对180名静脉注射毒品者、115名慢性活动性肝炎（CAH）患者和72名健康受试者的血液样本进行了研究。在CAH患者中发现抗-HBs的高频率（80.9%）以及与抗-HCV意外血清流行率的强关联（67%）。我们的研究无法解释这些结果，但提示两种病毒之间可能存在关联，或者CAH受试者的血清中含有导致假阳性的成分。
