Prevalence of hepatitis B infection high in HIV-infected subjects.
2003 OCT 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The prevalence of hepatitis B infection is high in HIV-infected subjects.
According to published research from the United States, "We determined incidence and risk factors for acute and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and HBV vaccination rates among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected subjects from the Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV Disease Project, during 1998-2001."
"Among 16,248 HIV-infected patients receiving care, the incidence of acute HBV was 12.2 cases/1000 person-years (316 cases), was higher among black subjects (rate ratio [RR], 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0-2.0), subjects with alcoholism (RR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.2-2.3), subjects who had recently injected drugs (RR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.1-2.4), and subjects with a history of AIDS-defining conditions (RR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.2-1.9), and was lower in those taking either antiretroviral therapy (ART) with lamivudine (RR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.4-0.6), ART without lamivudine (RR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.3-0.7), or greater than or equal to1 dose of HBV vaccine (14% of subjects) (RR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.4-0.9)," reported Scott E. Kellerman and collaborators at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
