RESUMO
Objetivo:
pesquisar o anti-HCV em portadores de esquistossomose mansônica.Método:
foram testadas amostras de soro de 184 pacientes atendidos no Ambulatório de Gastroenterologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pemambuco, empregando-se o ELISA de 3ª geração (Wiener) de acordo com as instruções do fabricante.Resultados:
detectou-se resultado positivo para o anti-HCV em 22 pacientes, revelando uma prevalência de 11,9%. Entre os co-infectados de ambos os sexos, 90,9% apresentaram aforma hepatoesplênica da esquistossomose e 54,5% já havia recebido transfusão sangüínea. Analisando-se o passado de endoscopia digestiva, todos os pacientes co-infectados do sexo masculino e 81,8% do sexo feminino foram submetidos ao procedimento.Conclusões:
foi alta a prevalência do anti-HCV em portadores de esquistossomose, a história de transfusão sangüínea e principalmente endoscopia digestiva mostraram-se como prováveis fontes de infecção.ABSTRACT
Objective:
to research the anti-HCV antibody prevalence in patients diagnosed with mansonic schistosomiasis. Methos serum sample of 184 patients attending the Gastroenterology Clinics of Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco were tested for anti-HCV by a third generation ELISA (Wiener@) according to the manufacturer's instructions.Results:
a positive resultfor anti-HCV was detected in 22 patients, establishing a prevalence of 11.9%. Among coinfected ofboth sexes, 90.9% had presented hepatosplenic schistosomiasis and 54.5% had had blood transfusion. Analyzing the endoscopy in the past, all coinfected male patients and 81.8% of coinfected females had undergone endoscopy previously.Conclusions:
the prevalence of anti-HCV in schistosomiasis patients was high. B/ood transfusion and particularly digestive endoscopy were shown as probable infection sources.
