Abstract

A serosurvey involving 656 individuals revealed that hepatitis A infection was virtually universal in Djibouti in 1987, and more than half of the people investigated had serum markers of hepatitis B infection. The rate of chronic HBsAg carriers was 7.3% and was higher for males than for females. Both HBsAg and anti-HBs positivity rates were directly related to increasing age. No uniform mechanism could be found to account for transmission of the hepatitis B virus, and no correlation was noted between HBV-marker status and sexual promiscuity or the classic blood exposure risks. However, a significant association existed between the abuse of khat and the chronic HBsAg carrier state.

摘要

一项涉及656人的血清学调查显示，1987年在吉布提甲型肝炎感染实际上极为普遍，且超过半数的受调查者有乙型肝炎感染的血清标志物。慢性乙肝表面抗原携带者的比例为7.3%，男性高于女性。乙肝表面抗原和乙肝表面抗体阳性率均与年龄增长直接相关。未发现统一的乙型肝炎病毒传播机制，且乙肝病毒标志物状态与性乱交或典型的血液暴露风险之间未发现相关性。然而，恰特草滥用与慢性乙肝表面抗原携带者状态之间存在显著关联。
