The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in 1 765 HIV-positive patients in rural Eastern Cape was 7.1%. This is lower than the previously reported rural prevalence and is similar to urban prevalence. Male sex and baseline alanine aminotransferease (ALT) were significant predictors of HBV status. Most HBV-positive patients had normal baseline ALT, making ALT an insensitive screening test for HBV status.
在东开普省农村的 1765 名 HIV 阳性患者中，乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）感染的流行率为 7.1%。这低于之前报告的农村流行率，与城市流行率相似。男性和基线丙氨酸氨基转移酶（ALT）是 HBV 状态的重要预测因素。大多数 HBV 阳性患者的基线 ALT 正常，这使得 ALT 成为 HBV 状态的一种不敏感的筛查试验。
