INTRODUCTION
Although deaf people are exposed to hepatitis B and C risk factors, epidemiological studies regarding these diseases in deaf people are lacking.
METHODS
After watching an explanatory digital versatile disc (DVD) in Brazilian Sign Language, 88 deaf people were interviewed and tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc), and hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV).
RESULTS
The prevalence of hepatitis B markers was 8%; they were associated with incarceration and being born outside the State of São Paulo. No cases of hepatitis C were identified.
CONCLUSIONS
Participants showed a substantial lack of knowledge regarding viral hepatitis, indicating a need for public policies that consider linguistic and cultural profiles.
引言
尽管聋人面临感染乙型和丙型肝炎的风险因素，但针对聋人群体中这些疾病的流行病学研究却很匮乏。
方法
88名聋人在观看了巴西手语解释性数字多功能光盘（DVD）后，接受了访谈，并进行了乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg）、乙肝表面抗体（抗-HBs）、乙肝核心抗体（抗-HBc）和丙肝病毒抗体（抗-HCV）检测。
结果
乙肝标志物的患病率为8%；这些与监禁以及出生在圣保罗州以外有关。未发现丙肝病例。
结论
参与者对病毒性肝炎的了解严重不足，这表明需要制定考虑语言和文化特征的公共政策。
