To establish the relative frequencies of types A, B and non-A, non-B hepatitis, stored samples of blood from all the cases of acute viral hepatitis seen over a period of 9 years in a general hospital for adults were classified according to their type by presently available serologic methods. The study included 456 episodes of hepatitis in 447 patients, distributed as follows: 114 episodes of hepatitis A (25%), 282 of hepatitis B (62%) and 60 of hepatitis non-A, non-B (13%). The episodes of non-A, non-B hepatitis were equally distributed between the sexes, suggesting a mode of transmission different from that of hepatitis A or B, which had male/female ratios of 2.4 and 3.1 respectively. The low proportion of hepatitis non-A, non-B may not reflect its real frequency, since it often escapes clinical recognition.
为确定甲型、乙型及非甲非乙型肝炎的相对发病率,采用现有血清学方法,对一家成人综合医院9年间收治的所有急性病毒性肝炎病例的留存血样按类型进行了分类。该研究纳入了447例患者的456次肝炎发作,分布如下:甲型肝炎114次发作(25%),乙型肝炎282次发作(62%),非甲非乙型肝炎60次发作(13%)。非甲非乙型肝炎发作在男女之间分布均匀,提示其传播方式不同于甲型或乙型肝炎,甲型和乙型肝炎的男女比例分别为2.4和3.1。非甲非乙型肝炎比例较低可能无法反映其实际发病率,因为它常常未被临床识别。
