Acute and chronic viral hepatitis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
O'Connor JA 《Adolescent medicine (Philadelphia, Pa.)》2000,11(2):279-292
Viral hepatitis is the most common cause of acute and chronic hepatitis. The term viral hepatitis generally refers to infections resulting from one of the hepatotrophic viruses: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. The last 10 years have brought many important advances in understanding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, molecular biology, and immunoprophylaxis of infections caused by hepatotrophic viruses. Development of sensitive and specific immunoassays has enabled detection of specific agents. This has allowed for identification of infected patients and monitoring response to therapy. Additionally, serologic markers have allowed for isolation of contaminated blood products and a reduction in the spread of disease. The remaining challenge is the application of this knowledge to the treatment and prevention of viral hepatitis. This article explores the risk factors, epidemiology, microbiology, clinical and laboratory diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the hepatotrophic viral infections. 相似文献

Responsiveness was assessed to a programme of vaccination of hepatitis B vaccine in a cohort of 197 intravenous drug addicts (mean age, 23.7 years) and their antibody response was compared with that of 271 healthy controls (mean age, 24.2 years). All participants were seronegative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody to HBsAg (anti-HBs). The vaccination schedule consisted of three intramuscular injections (deltoid area) at months 0, 1 and 2. Although 70% of parenteral drug abusers received the three doses of vaccination, only 43.6% were evaluable for immune response. Fifty-eight per cent of heroin addicts and 80% of controls had evidence of anti-HBs seroconversion at 1 month after vaccination (chi 2 = 15.52, p less than 0.001). Geometric mean antibody titres were also significantly higher in controls (69.1 IU l-1; confidence interval 95%, 56.83 and 84.04) than in parenteral drug abusers (18.2 IU l-1; confidence interval 95%, 12.85 and 25.73) (F = 20.951, p less than 0.0001). The anti-HBs response was not influenced by coexistent anti-HBc, HCV antibody or HIV antibody seropositivity. 相似文献

It is generally believed that hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses are highly prevalent in the Republic of Yemen. This study investigated the prevalence of HBV and HCV markers in 494 blood donors from Aden, 493 blood donors from Sana'a, 97 residents from an African ethnic minority in Sana'a and 99 residents of Soqotra Island. There were significant differences in the prevalence of HBV carriage (HBsAg: 6.7, 15, 19.6 and 26.3% respectively; P < 0.001); past HBV infection (anti-HBc: 17.4, 18.5, 30.9 and 59.6% respectively; P < 0.001); susceptibility to HBV (absence of HBV markers: 73.3, 61.9, 38.1 and 9.1% respectively; P < 0.001), infectivity of HBV carriers (HBV DNA: 51.5, 33.8, 52.6 and 65.4% respectively; P = 0.028) and HCV antibodies (RIBA confirmed or indeterminate: 0.6, 0.2, 5.2 and 5.1% respectively; P < 0.001). A significant difference in HBV carrier rate and a borderline significant difference in the prevalence of natural infection was observed between males and females in the African community (P = 0.02 and 0.06 respectively). In contrast, in Soqotra Island, there was no significant sex difference in HBV carrier rate but susceptibility was significantly more prevalent in males (P = 0.03). This study illustrates that significant difference in prevalence and epidemiology exists among different communities within the same country, reflecting political, geographical and social differences. Control strategies should take these differences into account. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to learn about the frequency of sexual disorders in young males who later become substance abusers. We interviewed 228 men treated in 10 drug centers for substance abuse. The questionnaire that we used was designed to assess the onset of erectile dysfunction (ED) or of premature ejaculation (PE). Only those subjects who became substance users between the ages of 17 to 29 were taken into consideration. Of the 228 subjects recruited, only 130 met the inclusion criteria (mean age 33). These male patients had a prevalence of ED of 20.3% (cl 99% 12.3-31.2), whereas the prevalence of ED of age-matched males in the general population is 2.1% (cl 99% 0.36-5.46; p < 0.000001). The prevalence of PE in the sample prior to drug use was 37.5%. Sexual desire was in the normal range in nearly all subjects. The prevalence of ED in the men of our sample is higher than in age-matched individuals of the general population. These data suggest a new hypothesis: sexual disorders or the conviction that one has a sexual problem is a possible risk factor among men for drug abuse and addiction. 相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV)- and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related chronic infections represent a major health problem worldwide. Although the efficacy of HBV and HCV treatment has improved, several important problems remain. Current recommended antiviral treatments are associated with considerable expense, adverse effects and poor efficacy in some patients. Thus, several alternative approaches have been attempted. To review the clinical experiences investigating the use of lipid- and water-soluble vitamins in the treatment of HBV- and HCV-related chronic infections, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for clinical studies on the use of vitamins in the treatment of HBV- and HCV-related hepatitis, alone or in combination with other antiviral options. Different randomised clinical trials and small case series have evaluated the potential virological and/or biochemical effects of several vitamins. The heterogeneous study designs and populations, the small number of patients enrolled, the weakness of endpoints and the different treatment schedules and follow-up periods make the results largely inconclusive. Only well-designed randomised controlled trials with well-selected endpoints will ascertain whether vitamins have any role in chronic viral hepatitis. Until such time, the use of vitamins cannot be recommended as a therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis B or C. 相似文献

Injection drug use has been the most growing rout of drug abuse in Iran in the past decade and it has been responsible for the transmission of HIV virus in more than two third of cases. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of HIV and hepatitis B in a group of IDU cadavers and to compare the results to a group of cadavers of the normal population. In a case-control study the blood samples of the cadavers of 400 randomly chosen IDUS and 400 other cadavers as control group were checked for HBS antigen and Anti HIV antibody in the forensic medicine center of Tehran. The prevalence of HIV and HBV infection was compared in two groups according to their demographic characteristics. The number of HIV and HBV positive cadavers was significantly higher in the IDU group than the controls (6.25% vs 0.5%, P<0.001, 27.5% vs 3%, P<0.001). The risk of getting infected by HIV virus was 13.27 times greater in the IDU group and the risk of HBV infection was 12.26 times greater in this group as compared to the control group. The age distribution of IDU cadavers indicated that the percentage of IDU cadavers in the reproductive (21-40 years old) age was 80%. The greater prevalence of the HIV and HBV infection especially in the reproductive age of IDUS indicates a greater concern to the authorities for more attention to prevention and harm reduction programs. 相似文献

AIM: To determine the histological aspects and associated factors to significant or severe fibrosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis C. METHODS: Consecutive patients recruited between 1999 and 2005 were studied. Lecture of hepatic biopsies was performed by the same histopathologist, using the METAVIR grading. RESULTS: We investigated 109 patients (36 men and 73 women, mean age:49.3 years (19 - 65 years). Activity was graded A0, A1, A2 and A3 in respectively 2, 49, 51 and 7 cases. Fibrosis was graded F0, F1, F2, F3 and F4 in 3, 34, 35, 16 and 21 cases. In univariate analysis, associated factors to fibrosis more than F2 were age, diabetes, levels of ASAT, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, prothrombin index and APRI score. In multivariate analysis, only age more than 50 years was associated with fibrosis more than F2 (p=0,006 adjusted OR [CI95%]:5,57[1,63 - 18,9]). Associated factors to fibrosis graded F4 were age, levels of ASAT, ALAT, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, leucocytes, platelets, prothrombin index, APRI score and hepatic dysmorphy on ultrasound examination. In multivariate analysis, only APRI score more than 1,5 was associated with fibrosis graded F4 (p=0,04 adjusted OR [CI95%] :4,35 [2,25-6,76]). CONCLUSION: Age and APRI score are important prognosis factors in chronic viral hepatitis C. 相似文献

Although chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis C are diseases of public health importance, only a few health departments nationally have chronic viral hepatitis under surveillance; these programs rely primarily on direct reporting by medical laboratories. We conducted an evaluation to determine if lessons from these programs can guide other health departments. Between December 2002 and February 2003, we visited the Connecticut Department of Public Health, the Multnomah County Health Department in Portland, Oregon, and the Minnesota Department of Health to determine the capacity of their chronic hepatitis registries to monitor trends and provide case management. We found that the registries facilitated investigations of potentially acute cases by identifying previously known infections, and aided prevention planning by pinpointing areas where viral hepatitis was being diagnosed. For chronic cases, case management (defined as the process of ensuring that infected individuals and their partners receive medical evaluation, counseling, vaccination, and referral to specialists for treatment when indicated) was provided for hepatitis B in Multnomah County, but was limited in other programs; barriers included resource constraints, difficulties confirming chronic infection, and privacy concerns. Finding innovative ways to overcome these barriers and improve case management is important if chronic hepatitis surveillance is to realize its full potential. 相似文献

CONTEXT: Drug use is a primary route for the transmission of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). A substantial proportion of welfare recipients have been shown to be substance abusers. In addition, federal legislation has imposed limits on the number of months individuals may receive benefits and has mandated most recipients to participate in a 'work activity' in exchange for benefits. HCV symptoms may inhibit welfare recipients' ability to seek and maintain employment. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of HCV in a sample of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) recipients and the effects of HCV antibody seropositivity on employability. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The sample for this study consisted of 380 individuals participating in a longitudinal study of employment patterns among TANF recipients in Houston, TX, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Private interviews regarding welfare receipt, employment, and drug use were conducted at intake into the study and at 4-month intervals for one year. Participants agreed to a one-time blood test. Blood samples were tested for the presence of HCV antibodies by enzyme linked immunoassay. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Employment status over time by HCV antibody status. RESULTS: Overall, 12% of all participants tested positive for the presence of HCV antibodies. A significantly greater proportion of chronic drug users (31%) than non-drug users (4%) tested positive for the presence of Hepatitis C antibodies. Those who tested positive for hepatitis C had significantly lower rates of employment. CONCLUSIONS: Potential infection with Hepatitis C may constitute an employment barrier for many welfare recipients. 相似文献
