Sera from military personnel found to have antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBS) in an epidemiological study of a hepatitis B outbreak were tested for persistence of that antibody 1 year later. Initially, 64% of the anti-HBS-positive sera reacted in passive hemagglutination tests with erythrocytes coated with hepatitis B surface antigen of both ayw and adw subtypes; the remaining sera reacted only with adw-coated erythrocytes (19%) or ayw-coated erythrocytes (17%). After 1 year, anti-HBS was detectable by passive hemagglutination tests in 87% of individuals with initial antibody to both subtypes but in only 41% and 16% (P less than 0.001) of those initially reacting only to adw- or ayw-coated erythrocytes, respectively. Seropositivity for anti-HBS correlated best with history of contact with jaundiced people (20.3%) and duty in Asia.
在一次乙型肝炎暴发的流行病学研究中,对被发现具有乙型肝炎表面抗原抗体(抗-HBS)的军人血清进行检测,以观察1年后该抗体的持续情况。最初,64%的抗-HBS阳性血清在被动血凝试验中与包被了ayw和adw亚型乙型肝炎表面抗原的红细胞发生反应;其余血清仅与包被adw的红细胞(19%)或包被ayw的红细胞(17%)发生反应。1年后,通过被动血凝试验在最初对两种亚型均有抗体的个体中87%可检测到抗-HBS,但在最初仅对包被adw或ayw红细胞发生反应的个体中分别只有41%和16%可检测到(P小于0.001)。抗-HBS血清阳性与接触黄疸患者的病史(20.3%)和在亚洲服役关联性最强。
