Abstract

The age-specific rate of exposure to hepatitis A virus (HAV) was studied in 1015 native Saudi Arabians (504 males, 511 females) from the Riyadh area. The relatively high prevalence of antibody to HAV (anti-HAV) (38.6%) in children between 1 and 4 years of age indicates that infection is acquired early in life in the Saudi Arabian population. The prevalence of anti-HAV was found to increase steadily so that by the age of 30 years 91.0% of Saudi Arabians have anti-HAV. The prevalence in adult Saudi Arabians was compared with that in expatriates from various parts of the world working in Saudi Arabia. It was lowest among Swedish (10.7-12.3%) and highest among Yemeni (94.5%) blood donors while British blood donors were intermediate same among Saudi Arabian, Yemeni, Egyptian and Filipino blood donors (91.0-94.5%). All the donors tested were of the same age group (20-35 years).

摘要

对来自利雅得地区的1015名沙特阿拉伯本地人（504名男性，511名女性）进行了甲型肝炎病毒（HAV）特定年龄暴露率的研究。1至4岁儿童中甲型肝炎抗体（抗-HAV）的相对高流行率（38.6%）表明，沙特阿拉伯人群在生命早期就会感染。研究发现抗-HAV的流行率稳步上升，到30岁时，91.0%的沙特阿拉伯人有抗-HAV。将成年沙特阿拉伯人的流行率与在沙特阿拉伯工作的来自世界不同地区的外籍人士的流行率进行了比较。在瑞典献血者中最低（10.7-12.3%），在也门献血者中最高（94.5%），而英国献血者处于中间水平，沙特阿拉伯、也门、埃及和菲律宾献血者中相同（91.0-94.5%）。所有接受检测的献血者都属于同一年龄组（20-35岁）。
