Seven hundred and twenty-three serum samples from individuals in 13 Gidra-speaking villages in Western Province, Papua New Guinea were tested for evidence of infection with human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I), human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-I), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). No samples were positive for antibodies to HIV-I. Antibodies to HTLV-I were found in 13 samples (1.8%), HBV surface antigens (HBsAg) were found in 86 samples (11.9%), and antibodies to HCV were found in 30 samples (4.1%). Six (46.2%) of 13 HTLV-I positive samples were positive for HCV or HBsAg. The seropositive rate varied in different villages and the incidence of HTLV-I and HCV was higher in coastal and riverine areas than inland.
对来自巴布亚新几内亚西部省份13个讲吉德拉语村庄的723份血清样本进行了检测,以寻找感染I型人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒(HTLV-I)、I型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-I)、乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)和丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)的证据。没有样本HIV-I抗体呈阳性。在13份样本(1.8%)中发现了HTLV-I抗体,在86份样本(11.9%)中发现了HBV表面抗原(HBsAg),在30份样本(4.1%)中发现了HCV抗体。13份HTLV-I阳性样本中有6份(46.2%)HCV或HBsAg呈阳性。不同村庄的血清阳性率有所不同,沿海和河流地区的HTLV-I和HCV发病率高于内陆地区。
