153 cases of viral hepatitis admitted to a Services hospital during the period 1995-97 were analysed for various epidemiological variables. 54 (36%) cases were found to be Hbs Ag positive. Relative risk of developing hepatitis was found to be highest amongst the other ranks (OR). Three fourth of all cases had contracted the infection while being away from their units. Route of acquiring infection could not be found in 80% of cases. It is important to educate the troops on the danger, mode of transmission and preventive measures of the disease. An immunisation policy for all soldiers at the time of entry needs to be considered seriously.
对1995年至1997年期间一所军队医院收治的153例病毒性肝炎患者的各种流行病学变量进行了分析。发现54例(36%)患者乙肝表面抗原呈阳性。发现其他职级人员患肝炎的相对风险最高(比值比)。所有病例中有四分之三是在离开部队期间感染的。80%的病例找不到感染途径。对部队进行该疾病的危险性、传播方式和预防措施的教育很重要。需要认真考虑为所有新兵制定免疫政策。
