Abstract:
Objective To study the association between some trace elements and viral hepatit is E.
Methods The contents of trace elements Cu, Fe, Zn and Se in HEV-infected serum was detected respectively by spectrophtometer and then statistical analysis was done on the data by SPSS for win 9.0.
Results Both in anti-HEV positive group and HEV patients group, the amounts of Zn and Se in serum were statistically significant lower, Fe and value Cu/Zn and value Fe/Zn were significanthigher compared with control group.s.Logistic regression analysis showed that trace elements Se, value Cu/Zn and value Zn/Se should be involved in the regression equation.
Conclusion Trace elements of Zn and Se had significant effect on the HEV infection.
