This study investigated a rare area of endemicity with a high prevalence of both hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, in Putian County, China. Among 1,050 subjects, the overall prevalence of HBsAg seropositivity was 15.8%, and that of anti-HCV seropositivity was 28.9%. Intrafamilial viral transmission might be the major cause of the high prevalence of HBV infection in this region. However, HCV infection was shown to be associated with the use of inadequately sterilized medical equipment.
本研究调查了中国莆田县一个乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)和丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染流行率均很高的罕见地方性流行区。在 1050 名研究对象中,HBsAg 血清阳性率为 15.8%,抗-HCV 血清阳性率为 28.9%。家庭内病毒传播可能是该地区 HBV 感染高发的主要原因。然而,HCV 感染与使用未充分消毒的医疗设备有关。
