Two hundred and thirty female and 43 male-to-female transsexual Greek prostitutes were screened for serological evidence of active syphilis as judged by positivity in both rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test and treponemal (FTA-ABS and TPHA) tests. The rate of active syphilis was 20.9% in the male-to-female transsexual prostitutes and 4.3% in the female ones (P < 0.001, odds ratio = 5.82). In the former group 65.1% had evidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and 4.7% of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection while the respective rates among the latter group were 50.4% and 3.9%. There was no correlation of viral hepatitis marker prevalence with positive syphilis serology.
对230名女性和43名男变女的变性希腊妓女进行了梅毒血清学检查,以快速血浆反应素(RPR)试验和梅毒螺旋体(FTA-ABS和TPHA)试验均呈阳性作为活动性梅毒的判断依据。男变女的变性妓女中活动性梅毒的发生率为20.9%,女性妓女中为4.3%(P<0.001,优势比=5.82)。在前一组中,65.1%有乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染证据,4.7%有丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染证据,而后一组中的相应比例分别为50.4%和3.9%。病毒性肝炎标志物患病率与梅毒血清学阳性之间无相关性。
