Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: HIV and Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis C Virus co-infection has emerged as leading cause of morbidity due to liver diseases throughout the world. The study is undertaken to evaluate the seroprevalence of Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C virus co-infection in PLWH attending ART center at Osmania general hospital, Hyderabad. A total of 120 HIV infected cases and 40 healthy adult controls were included in study. Their serum samples were tested for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti HCV antibodies by ELISA method. Out of 120 HIV infected cases , co-infection with HBV is seen in 9 cases and co-infection with HCV is seen in 5 cases. None of the healthy controls were positive for either HBV or HCV infection. Co-Infections with HBV& HCV are higher in HIV infected cases than that of healthy subjects. Hence all HIV infected patients must be screened for markers of HBV & HCV infection. Keywords:Co-infection, Hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C virus, Human immunodeficiency virus, Enzyme linked immunosorbant assay, People living with HIV(PLWH)
