Hepatitis B virus infection is common in institutions caring for the mentally handicapped. Hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus share routes of transmission but the prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in this population is unknown. We have tested 101 patients from two institutions in South-East England caring for adults with mental handicap for the presence of hepatitis C antibody, hepatitis B core antibody, and if necessary hepatitis B surface antigen. None tested positive for hepatitis C antibody, but 43 had hepatitis B core antibody of whom 14 were chronic carriers positive for hepatitis B surface antigen. Unlike hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus infection appears to be uncommon in UK institutions.
乙型肝炎病毒感染在智障人士护理机构中很常见。乙型肝炎病毒和丙型肝炎病毒传播途径相同，但该人群中丙型肝炎病毒感染的流行情况尚不清楚。我们对英格兰东南部两家护理成年智障患者的机构中的101名患者进行了检测，以确定他们是否存在丙型肝炎抗体、乙型肝炎核心抗体，必要时还检测了乙型肝炎表面抗原。没有人的丙型肝炎抗体检测呈阳性，但有43人乙型肝炎核心抗体呈阳性，其中14人是乙型肝炎表面抗原阳性的慢性携带者。与乙型肝炎病毒不同，丙型肝炎病毒感染在英国机构中似乎并不常见。
