ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

determine the seroprevalence of HBV and HCV in SLE patients attended at the University Hospital fromOctober 2009 to July 2010.

METHOD:

the serological markers for HBV (HBsAg, anti-HBc total and anti-HBs) andHCV (anti-HCV) were investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In HBsAg and/or anti-HBc totaland anti-HCV positive samples were analyzed for HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA by PCR.

RESULTS:

one hundred andsixty-nine SLE patients were studied and the prevalence of anti-HBc total was 10.1% (17/169) and all were negative forHBV-DNA. The anti-HCV was present in 1.8% (3/169) and only one was HCV-RNA positive, presenting a viral load of212.000 copies/mL.

CONCLUSIONS:

considering the absence of data on HBV in SLE patients in Brazil, the prevalencefound in this study was high when compared to that reported in the general population in the same geographical area.With regard to the seroprevalence of HCV, it was lower than that observed in other Brazilian SLE patients.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

determinar a soroprevalência do HBV e HCV em pacientes com LES atendidos em Hospital Universitáriode Outubro de 2009 a Julho de 2010.

MÉTODO:

pesquisaram-se os marcadores sorológicos para o HBV (HBsAg,anti-HBc total e anti-HBs) e HCV (anti-HCV) através de ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA). Nas amostras HBsAg e/ouanti-HBc total e anti-HCV positivas foram pesquisados o HBV-DNA e HCV-RNA, pela reação em cadeia da polimerase(PCR).

RESULTADOS:

169 pacientes lúpicos foram estudados e a prevalência do anti-HBc total foi 10,1% (17/169),com negatividade para o HBV-DNA. O anti-HCV esteve presente em 1,8% (3/169) dos pacientes e em apenas um oHCV-RNA foi positivo, com carga viral de 212.000 cópias/mL.

CONCLUSÃO:

em virtude da inexistência de outrostrabalhos brasileiros que relatem a prevalência do HBV em pacientes lúpicos, verificou-se que a prevalência encontradana pesquisa foi superior a da população local. Com relação à soroprevalência do HCV, esta foi menor do que a verificadaem pacientes lúpicos brasileiros.
