Abstract
|
|
|
According to the reports, the prevalence of anti-HCV is about 1%. In past, the results of the prevalence of HBs Ag & HBs Ab in patients of Hansen’s disease were reported. But we don’t know about that of anti-HCV. So we study about the prevalence
of
serum anti-HCV of 60 patients & PALS of Hansen’s disease. And we test about Alk. Phosp., ALT, AST, Gtlc HBs Ag & HBs Ab.
1. The prevalence of anti-HCV is 8.33%. It is higher than past reports(about 1-2%).
2. The prevalence of HBs Ag is 3.4% & that of HBs Ab is 36.3%.
3. Because of the high prevalence of anti-HCV in the patients of Hansen’s disease & PALS, we think that more studies are need about it.
