[Study of genetic markers of hepatitis B virus in 204 persons working in hospitals].

In this study we have shown that 20% of the staff of the University Hospital Center at Nancy have at least one genetic marker for hepatitis B virus. We believe that, given this relatively high incidence of infection, members of a hospital staff at high risk for infection should be screened by serologic tests in order to immunize only susceptible individuals. Conversely, in populations with low incidences of infection, immunization without prior serologic tests is preferable as it is less expensive.

[Study of the incidence of complement-fixing antibodies against the cytomegalovirus in 339 subjects].

The authors studied complement-fixing anticytomegalovirus antibodies in a population of 339 subjects, divided up into 8 groups, from birth to 60 years. The adult group consisted of blood donors. At birth, the new-born acquired temporary passive immunity from their mothers ; then they became actively immunised over the course of several years. The increase in the number of immunised subjects was greater during infancy and adolescence, passing from 6 % to 28.1 %, than during adult age (45.1 to 52.9 %). A very important difference of 17 %) definitely separated the age groups of adolescents and young adults. 47.4 % of blood donors have complement fixing anticytomegalo-virus antibodies.
