To evaluate the prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus and serological markers for hepatitis B virus infection in patients with HIV.
Cross sectional survey.
Aquitaine, southwestern France, 1991-94.
1935 HIV positive patients seen at least once since June 1991.
Presence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus were detected by second or third generation enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA) and markers for hepatitis B virus detected by ELISA.
The prevalence was 42.5% (823) for antibodies to hepatitis C virus, 56.4 (507) for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen, 6.9% (133) for hepatitis B surface antigen, 30.2% (584) for antibodies to hepatitis B core and surface antigen with no detectable surface antigen, 26.2% (507) for antibodies to core antigen only, and 4.8% (92) for antibodies to surface antigen only. The prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus was 86.1% (726/843) in subjects who had bloodborne HIV infection and 7.3% (66/899) in those with sexually acquired infection. The prevalence of markers for hepatitis B was higher among homosexuals than in the other groups of patients, except for antibodies to surface antigen alone. The relation between markers for hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus was negative among men but positive among women.
The results favour the hypothesis that hepatitis C virus is sexually transmitted much less commonly than either HIV or hepatitis B virus.
评估人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者中丙型肝炎病毒抗体及乙型肝炎病毒感染血清学标志物的流行情况。
横断面调查。
法国西南部阿基坦,1991 - 1994年。
自1991年6月起至少就诊过一次的1935例HIV阳性患者。
采用第二代或第三代酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)及重组免疫印迹试验(RIBA)检测丙型肝炎病毒抗体,采用ELISA检测乙型肝炎病毒标志物。
丙型肝炎病毒抗体流行率为42.5%(823例),乙型肝炎核心抗原抗体流行率为56.4%(507例),乙型肝炎表面抗原流行率为6.9%(133例),乙型肝炎核心及表面抗原抗体且表面抗原检测不到的流行率为30.2%(584例),仅核心抗原抗体流行率为26.2%(507例),仅表面抗原抗体流行率为4.8%(92例)。经血液传播HIV感染的患者中丙型肝炎病毒抗体流行率为86.1%(726/843),性传播感染患者中为7.3%(66/899)。除仅表面抗原抗体外,同性恋患者中乙型肝炎标志物的流行率高于其他患者组。乙型肝炎标志物与丙型肝炎病毒之间的关系在男性中为负相关,在女性中为正相关。
结果支持丙型肝炎病毒性传播比HIV或乙型肝炎病毒少见得多这一假说。
