Hepatitis-B-surface antigen (HBsAg) was not detected by sensitive radioimmunoassays in the tear fluids of 6 HBsAg carriers with low and medium titers of HBsAg (less than 1:10,000) in the serum. However, HBsAg could be demonstrated in low concentrations in tear fluids of 5 of 6 HBsAg carriers with high serum titers (greater than 1:10,000). The concentration of HBsAg in the tear fluid was at least 100 times lower than in the sera of these 5 persons. Correspondingly HBsAg could be found in only 1 of the rinsing and in none of the storage solutions of the contact lenses of 7 persons with high titers of HBsAg in the serum (greater than 1:32,000). HBsAg was not adsorbed to smooth HEMA-lenses. Because of the low concentration of HBsAg in tear fluids and the dilution effect (about 5 x 10(-10)) the transmission of hepatitis B by multiple use of contact lenses by several persons during adaption is lighly unlikely. In addition, a special cleaning solution (Liprofin) can destroy nearly completely the antigenicity of HBsAg at 60 degrees C.
在血清中乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)滴度为低和中等水平(小于1:10,000)的6名HBsAg携带者的泪液中,用灵敏的放射免疫测定法未检测到HBsAg。然而,在血清滴度高(大于1:10,000)的6名HBsAg携带者中,有5人的泪液中能检测到低浓度的HBsAg。这5人的泪液中HBsAg浓度至少比血清中低100倍。相应地,在血清中HBsAg滴度高(大于1:32,000)的7人的隐形眼镜冲洗液中仅在1份中发现了HBsAg,而在储存液中均未发现。HBsAg不会吸附到光滑的甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯(HEMA)镜片上。由于泪液中HBsAg浓度低以及稀释效应(约5×10⁻¹⁰),在适配过程中多人多次使用隐形眼镜传播乙型肝炎的可能性极小。此外,一种特殊的清洁溶液(Liprofin)在60℃时能几乎完全破坏HBsAg的抗原性。
