Abstract

We interviewed 51 blood donors in four major US metropolitan areas subsequently found to have had antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic virus (anti-HTLV) in late 1984-early 1985. Sixteen donors (31%) reported that they or a sexual contact had a history of blood transfusion. Twelve donors (24%) reported that they or a sexual contact used intravenous drugs. Ten donors (20%) were blacks born in the southeastern US. Four of the male donors (15%) reported homosexual contact. The most common characteristic was an association with Japan or the Caribbean basin (61%). These results show a broader variation of epidemiologic backgrounds than anticipated.

摘要

我们对美国四个主要大都市地区的51名献血者进行了访谈，这些献血者在1984年末至1985年初被发现感染了人类T细胞嗜淋巴细胞病毒抗体（抗-HTLV）。16名献血者（31%）报告称他们自己或性伴侣有输血史。12名献血者（24%）报告称他们自己或性伴侣使用过静脉注射毒品。10名献血者（20%）是出生在美国东南部的黑人。4名男性献血者（15%）报告有同性恋接触史。最常见的特征是与日本或加勒比海地区有关联（61%）。这些结果表明，流行病学背景的差异比预期的更大。
