AB Serum samples were collected from 353 heroin addicts in Linchang
Prefecture and Kunming Area, Yunnan Province for detecting anti-HIV with
ELISA and Western Blot, and 319 of them also for detecting various
infection markers of hepatitis A, B, C and D with ELISA. Results showed
no anti-HIV was found among them, overall infection prevalence rate of
hepatitis A, B, C and D was 78.11%, 72.73% for males and 90.91% for
females, and 1.57%, 63.97%, 51.85% and 5.79% positive rates for
anti-HAV-IgM, HBV markers, anti-HCV and HDAg and/or anti-HD-IgM,
respectively. Prevalence of mixed infection with different types of
hepatitis was 40.07%, and 35.35% for mixed HBV and HCV. Infection rate
of hepatitis B and C in Kunming Area was significantly higher than that
in Linchang Prefecture, and so did in Han nationality than in other
minority nationalities. It suggests hepatitis viruses infection is
caused by drug abuse, use of non-sterilizing syringes with others.
