Analysis on infection rates of blood transmission virus in intravenous drug users

  Objective   In order to assess the infection condition of HBV, HCV, HGV, HSV and CMY in Intravenous Drug Users(IVDUs).

  Methods   It is detected that anti-HBV, HCY, HGV, HSV, CMY markers by ELISA in 406 sera and 102 normal controls.While we detected HCV RNA by RT-PCR and Fluorescence Quantitative PCR methods.

  Results   Anti-HGV, HSV and CMV positive is 1.97%, 2.71% and 3.45% respctively, total HBV infection rate is 36.45%, HBsAg carrier 5.91%, HBeAg positive 3.96% in IVDUs.HBV infection rate is 17.65%, HBsAg carrier 0.98%, HBeAg positive 1.96% in the controls.Others are negative.The infection rates and coinfection rates are very prominent in the injector cousers of IVDUs(49.01%).

  Conclusion   It indicates that IVDUs is high risk population of blood transmission virus infection, especially HCV infection.
