Abstract

The prevalence of antibodies to the hepatitis E virus (HEV) was measured in a group of 129 adults from Bujumbura, Burundi, using an ELISA. The prevalence of anti-HEV IgG was 14%, much lower than that of hepatitis A virus (HAV) (97.7%). In addition to the lability of antibodies to HEV, this difference might be explained by the extensive availability of good-quality drinking water in the city. The presence of serologic markers of HBV (77.6%), HCV (27.1%), and human immunodeficiency virus (30.2%) was not associated with that of anti-HEV.

摘要

采用酶联免疫吸附测定法（ELISA）检测了来自布隆迪布琼布拉的129名成年人中戊型肝炎病毒（HEV）抗体的流行情况。抗HEV IgG的流行率为14%，远低于甲型肝炎病毒（HAV）（97.7%）。除了HEV抗体的不稳定性外，这种差异可能是由于该市优质饮用水供应广泛。乙肝病毒（HBV）（77.6%）、丙肝病毒（HCV）（27.1%）和人类免疫缺陷病毒（30.2%）血清学标志物的存在与抗HEV的存在无关。
