Forty one consecutive patients (24 males and 17 females) with AIDS had their blood assayed for HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HBc by Reversed Passive Haemagglutination (RPHA), Passive Haemagglutination (PHA) and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) techniques respectively. 5 (12.2%) were found positive for HBsAg. 10 (24.4%) for anti-HBs and 31 (75.6%) for anti-HBc. 32 (78%) out of 41 patients with AIDS had serological evidence of exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV). The prevalence of HBsAg found in this study is not different from what has been found in the Kenyan community without AIDS, while that of anti-HBs is much lower than what has been reported in the general community.
连续41例艾滋病患者(24例男性和17例女性)分别采用反向被动血凝试验(RPHA)、被动血凝试验(PHA)和酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)技术检测其血液中的乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)、乙肝表面抗体(抗-HBs)和乙肝核心抗体(抗-HBc)。结果发现5例(12.2%)HBsAg呈阳性,10例(24.4%)抗-HBs呈阳性,31例(75.6%)抗-HBc呈阳性。41例艾滋病患者中有32例(78%)有感染乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)的血清学证据。本研究中发现的HBsAg患病率与在没有艾滋病的肯尼亚人群中发现的患病率没有差异,而抗-HBs的患病率远低于普通人群中报告的患病率。
