Hepatitis B surface antigen, DNA polymerase, and hepatitis B virus DNA have been sought in the tears of 72 patients. These markers were detected in a high percentage of hepatitis B carriers, which proves the presence of hepatitis B virus in the tears and raises the question of its eventual transmission in this way. The severity and extreme contagiousness of hepatitis B together with the increasing number of virus carriers justify systematic sanitary rules among ophthalmic clinicians and staff, but vaccination remains the best mean of limiting the spread of the disease.
对72例患者的眼泪进行了乙肝表面抗原、DNA聚合酶和乙肝病毒DNA检测。在高比例的乙肝携带者中检测到这些标志物,这证明眼泪中存在乙肝病毒,并引发了其是否会通过这种方式传播的问题。乙肝的严重性和极强传染性,以及病毒携带者数量的不断增加,使得眼科临床医生和工作人员必须制定系统的卫生规则,但接种疫苗仍然是限制该疾病传播的最佳手段。
