Hepatitis B virus infection in lepromatous and tuberculoid patients from Senegal.

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) seric markers (HBs Ag, anti-HBs, and HBe Ag) were studied in 987 Senegalese leprosy patients (lepromatous: LL; tuberculoid: TT) in comparison with 6187 healthy adults (controls). Two populations of leprosy patients from ILAD (Institut de Léprologie Appliquée de Dakar) were studied: The First study (i.e.: study I) between 1973 and 1977 included 553 patients (329 LL; 224 TT). The Second study (i.e.: study II) between 1982 and 1986 included 434 patients (236 LL; 198 TT). HBV serological markers were tested by various techniques. By RIA, they were present in 98% and 96.5% in the studies I and II respectively. Each marker was studied and compared to the control population. HBs Ag detected by RIA was present in 25.5% (study I) and 23.0% (study II) when comparing to 15.2% in the control group. This marker was correlated with leprosy forms (LL and TT), age, sex, ethnic group.

[The hepatitis B virus markers, in leprous patients (author's transl)].

The hepatitis B virus markers were studied on 553 leprous sera and 100 controls sera. HBs Ag detected by RIA were present on 25,4% of leprous and 12% of controls; the anti-HBs by RIA were revealed in 44,1% of patients out 38% of controls. The leprous was not carrying this markers were HBe Ag or anti-HBe or anti-HBc positive. By this vertical study it appears that 2,4% of the cases presented recent or acute hepatitis; 23% were chronic carriers; 41,7% had been in times past infected but were cured and the third remaining had been infected but coat markers were absent, it is more than likely that is an old infected group. The study revealed no significant difference in hepatitis chronic forms frequency between lepromatous and tuberculoïd patients.
