Abstract

The prevalence of hepatitis B infection among 697 patients in an adult psychiatric hospital was determined by testing for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and its antibody (anti-HBs). The test results were 0.86 per cent positive for HBsAG and 20 per cent positive for anti-HBs. This assessment of the prevalence of hepatitis B in a group of elderly long-term institutional patients may be used as a guide when hepatitis B vaccination is being considered for use in a psychiatric hospital. It is noteworthy that the elimination of overcrowding in psychiatric hospitals has contributed significantly to the decline of hepatitis B infection in recent years.

摘要

通过检测乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg）及其抗体（抗-HBs），确定了一家成人精神病医院697名患者中乙肝感染的患病率。检测结果显示，HBsAG阳性率为0.86%，抗-HBs阳性率为20%。对一组老年长期住院患者的乙肝患病率评估，可作为在精神病医院考虑使用乙肝疫苗时的参考。值得注意的是，近年来精神病医院消除过度拥挤的状况对乙肝感染率的下降起到了显著作用。
