“…In more recent studies, PEREIRA et al 61 observed in 1994 that 11.8% of patients with HSS, compensated or not, carried HBsAg and that 38.5% carried any marker of B virus. LINS 49 found a difference in the frequency of HBsAg between schistosomotic patients (4.1%) and controls, although without statistical significance.…”

SUMMARYPurpose: To evaluate the frequency and the consequences of the co-infection of hepatitis B and C viruses in patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HSS).Methods: B and C serologic markers, exposure to risk factors, biochemical assays, upper gastrointestinal endoscopies, and abdominal ultrasonograms were evaluated in 101 patients with HSS from 1994 to 1997. Whenever possible, PCR was tested and histopathological studies were reviewed.Results: At least one HBV virus marker was found in 15.8%, and anti-HCV was detected in 12.9% of the subjects. The seropositive subjects tended to be older than the seronegative ones. A history of blood transfusion was significantly related to the presence of anti-HCV. Three (18.75%) out of 16 subjects exposed to B virus were HBsAg positive. Eleven (84.6%) out of thirteen patients who were anti-HCV positive demonstrated viral activity. Patients with ongoing viral infection presented a higher average level of liver aminotransferases, a higher frequency of cell decompensation and a higher rate of chronic hepatitis. Portal hypertension parameters were not influenced by viral exposure. Conclusions:The rate of hepatitis B and C viruses serologic markers observed in the patients with HSS was higher than the control group. The co-infection was responsible for a higher frequency of cell decompensation.

“…Several studies conducted in Egypt 1,9,22,28,39,45,46,78 and in Brazil 30,31,48,49,62 demonstrated a higher prevalence of C virus infection in schistosomotic patients and defined its importance in the decompensation of hepatic disease, although other studies did not detect this association 26,38,73 .…”

“…After characterization of HCV by Choo et al 7 and the consequent possibility of detecting HCV markers in serum, Lins 16 showed that the frequency of individuals with anti-HCV antibodies does not differ between patients with the hepatointestinal form of SM and those with the hepatosplenic form.…”
