چکیده
aim : this study was designed to evaluate the frequency of antibody against these viruses in individuals attending the endoscopy ward of taleghani hospital tehran, iran. background : blood-borne viruses such as hepatitis b and hepatitis c virus and htlv-1 virus are among the world’s public health problems. hepatitis viruses cause liver problems and htlv-1 infection can lead to adult t-cell lymphoma (atl). patients and methods : blood samples of 219 individuals attending the endoscopy ward of taleghani hospital between years 2009-2011 were collected. a questionnaire containing demographic data was completed for each subject. blood samples were tested for antibody against htlv-1, hcv and hbc by elisa (dia.pro italy). in case of positive results for anti-hbc, samples were also tested for hbs ag antigen. results : ninety two subjects were male and 127 were female. mean age of the population was 39.87 ± 16.47. none of the subjects had anti-hcv antibody, while 4 of them had anti-htlv-1 antibody and 26 anti-hbc antibody; which only two of these individuals had hbs antibody. conclusion : the results of this study show that frequency of anti-hcv and anti-htlv-1 antibodies are very low, while the frequency of anti-hbc was higher in the population. since htlv-1 is the causative agent of a type of blood cancer, it seems that screening of donated bloods in this region should be considered.

The high prevalence of contaminated cell cultures suggests that viral contaminations might be distributed among cultures. We investigated more than 460 primate cell lines for Epstein-Barr (EBV), hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus I and II (HTLV-I/-II), and squirrel monkey retrovirus (SMRV) infections for risk a...
متن کاملHBV/HCV dual infection impacts viral load, antibody response, and cytokine expression differently from HBV or HCV single infection
Hepatitis B virus/hepatitis C virus (HBV/HCV) dual infection is common among high-risk individuals. To characterize the virological and immunological features of patients with HBV/HCV dual infection, we enrolled 1,049 individuals who have been identified as injection drug users. Patients were divided into single and dual infection groups according to the serological markers. We found the averag...
