Abstract
In order to determine whether infection with
Schistosoma japonicum is related to a higher rate
of infection with hepatitis B virus and/or to a higher probability
of HBsAg chronic carriage, a
population based survey was carried out in China in which HBV markers were
studied in 112
subjects with long-lasting S. japonicum infection, and 93 subjects
with no S. japonicum infection
37·5% of the cases and 40·9% of controls showed no markers
of HBV infection. The
prevalence rate of HBsAg was 12·5% in the cases and
12·9% in the controls. For anti-HBc
and anti-HBs the figures were 59·8% and 59·8%, and
27·9% and 35·0%, respectively. These
data do not support the hypothesis of an interaction between infection
with hepatitis B virus
and S. japonicum.
