The prevalence of serum antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) and of hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers was investigated in different population groups, including prostitutes, in Mogadishu, Somalia. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was detected in 37% of pregnant women, 4% of neonates, 22% of educated women, and 20% of prostitutes. No significant difference between the groups was observed for HBV. In contrast to figures reported from South East Asia, the prevalence of hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg) was 18% in prostitutes and only 3% in all other HBsAg positive subjects. The prevalence of antibodies to HSV (100%) and CMV (90%) was very high, but antibodies against HIV were not detected in any of 471 sera. As the routes of transmission for HBV and HIV infections are considered to be similar, HIV will probably spread rapidly in Somalia once this virus has been introduced into the country.
在索马里摩加迪沙的不同人群组(包括妓女)中,对人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)、单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)、巨细胞病毒(CMV)的血清抗体以及乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)标志物的流行情况进行了调查。在37%的孕妇、4%的新生儿、22%的受过教育的女性以及20%的妓女中检测到了乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg)。各群体之间HBV未观察到显著差异。与东南亚报告的数据相反,妓女中乙型肝炎e抗原(HBeAg)的流行率为18%,而在所有其他HBsAg阳性受试者中仅为3%。HSV抗体(100%)和CMV抗体(90%)的流行率非常高,但在471份血清中均未检测到抗HIV抗体。由于HBV和HIV感染的传播途径被认为相似,一旦HIV被引入索马里,这种病毒可能会迅速传播。
