目的观察未经抗病毒治疗(ART)的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者和普通人群隐匿性乙型肝炎流行状况,评估HW感染者合并隐匿性乙型肝炎的临床特点。方法通过酶联免疫分析法检测未经ART治疗的HⅣ感染者和普通人群血浆HBsAg、抗-HBs、HBeAg、抗-Be和抗-HBc水平,筛查出HBsAg阴性的HⅣ感染者(感染组)249例,健康体检者HBsAg阴性者121例(健康组),再采用罗氏COBASAmpliPrep/COBASTaqManHBVTest,version2.0试剂盒检测外周血HBVDNA水平。统计分析用STATA10软件处理本实验各组数据。用Fisher。S精确概率检验、秩和检验。结果感染组HBVDNA阳性者24例,隐匿性乙型肝炎占9.7%,健康组HBVDNA阳性者4例,隐匿性乙型肝炎占3.3%,两组比较,P=0.035,差异有统计学意义。感染组24例HBVDNA阳性者,HBVDNA载量最低者血中能测到,但在检测值水平以下,(即〈20IU/Inl),最高者3.22×10’IU/t02。大于100IU/ml占37.5%(9/24),20~99IU/rnl占16.7%(4/24),〈20IU/ml,但可测出HBVDNA占45.8%(11/24)。HIV感染者抗-HBc(+)/抗-HBs(+)组、抗-HBc(+)/抗-HBs(-)组、抗-HBc(-)/抗-HBs(+)组、抗-HBc(-)/抗-HBs(-)组DNA阳性率分别为7.3%(8/110),20.8%(11/53),14.3%(3/21),3.1%(2/64),抗-HBc(+)/抗-HBs(-)组分别与抗-HBc(+)/抗-HBs(+)组、抗-HBc(-)/抗-HBs(-)组两组比较,尸值分别为0.018和0.003,差异有统计学意义。四组间HBVDNA病毒载量比较,尸=0.805,差异无统计学意义。感染组HBVDNA(+)组与HBVDNA(-)组比较,CD4计数∽=1.902,P=0.0586)和ALT水平汜=1.401,P=0.1611)差异无统计学意义。结论在未经ART治疗HⅣ感染者中,隐匿性乙型肝炎高于普通人群,HⅣ感染者抗-HBc(+)/抗-HBs(-)组隐匿性乙型肝炎最高。
Objective To investigate and analyze the differential prevalence, as well as the risk factors and clinical features, of occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected population without antiretroviral therapy (ART) as compared to the general (non-HIV- infected) population. Methods Two-hundred-and-forty-eight individuals with confirmed HIV infection but ART na'fve (males: 220, females: 28; 15-82 years old) were enrolled in the study, along with 121 healthy individuals (confirmed HIV antibody-negative; males: 53, females: 68; 20-88 years old). HBV markers (hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg); anti-HBs, anti-HBe and anti-hepatitis B core (HBc) antibodies) were detected by microparticle enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (AxSYM immunology analyzer manufactured by Abbott Laboratories); all cases and controls were confirmed negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Then, the HBV DNA level in serum was detected using nucleic acid amplification assay (COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HBV test, version 2.0 manufactured by Roche). CD4+ T lymphocytes were measured by flow cytometry, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT, marker of liver function) was measured by enzymatic assay. Results Twenty-four of the HIV cases (9.7%) and four of the healthy controls (3.3%) tested positive for HBV DNA; the amount of individuals with HBV DNA-positivity was significantly higher in the HIV-infected group (P = 0.035). Among the 24 cases of HBV DNA(+) HIV-infected individuals, the lowest HBV DNA load was 〈 20 IU/ml and the highest was 3.22 ~ 105 IU/ml; nine of the individuals (37.5%) had HBV DNA load 〉 100 IU/ml, four (16.7%) had 20-99 IU/ ml, and 11 (45.8%) had 〈 20 IU/ml. Among the total HIV-infected cases with HBV DNA-positivity, 7.3% (8/110) were anti-HBc(+)/anti-HBs(+), 20.8% (11/53) were anti-HBc(+)/anti-HBs(-), 14.3 % (3/21)
