A survey of hospital patients with lepromatous and with tuberculoid leprosy showed 5% of the former and 6.3% of the latter to be carriers of hepatitis B antigen. These findings contradict the hypothesis of a genetically determined predisposition; opportunity for infection appears rather to be the determining factor. It was also found that (1) the number of carriers was higher among patients staying longer in hospital; (2) titres of antigen in patients with lepromatous leprosy were higher than in those with tuberculoid leprosy or in controls; and (3) antigen titres measured twice at an interval of 4 months indicated that the carrying of hepatitis B antigen in patients with leprosy is stable and persistent.
一项针对瘤型麻风病患者和结核样型麻风病患者的调查显示，前者中有5%、后者中有6.3%为乙肝抗原携带者。这些发现与遗传易感性假说相矛盾；感染机会似乎才是决定性因素。还发现：（1）住院时间较长的患者中携带者数量较多；（2）瘤型麻风病患者的抗原滴度高于结核样型麻风病患者或对照组；（3）间隔4个月进行两次测量的抗原滴度表明，麻风病患者携带乙肝抗原的情况稳定且持续。
