Prevalência de infecção pelo vírus da hepatite C em pacientes com diabetes melito tipo 2

Abstract: RESUMO -Racional -Estudos recentes têm sugerido possível associação entre infecção pelo vírus da hepatite C (VHC) e diabetes melito tipo 2, relatando prevalência elevada de infecção pelo vírus C nessa população. Objetivo -Verifi car a prevalência de infecção pelo VHC em adultos portadores de diabetes melito em nosso meio. Métodos -Foram avaliados consecutivamente 145 adultos com diabetes melito tipo 2 e 104 com diabetes melito tipo 1, em acompanhamento no ambulatório de diabetes de um hospital universitário, q… Show more

“…An increased prevalence of HCV infection has been reported by other investigators (12,13) and the rate observed in the present study (15%) is very similar to the 11.5% rate reported by Simo et al (13) in a sample of white patients with type 1 and type 2 DM. The association of type 2 DM and HCV infection might be due to an increased susceptibility of type 2 DM patients to more frequent hospitalizations and daily use of syringes (10).…”

“…The prevalence of HCV infection among diabetic subjects ranges from 2 to 11.5% (12-14) and seems to be unrelated to hepatic fibrosis grade or to the presence of cirrhosis. HCV infection appears to precede the development of type 2 DM (10).…”

“…In general, patients with hepatic steatosis due to the obesity, alcohol consumption or DM respond to treatment less frequently than patients without steatosis (6) and in HIV co-infected patients the virologic response frequency is lower than the patients without co-infection (17) . The epidemiological results presented by TOVO et al (18) , GALPERIM et al (8) and PAROLIN et al (14) are important for public health decision making, because they refl ect the reality found in daily clinical practice. In Brazil, where most high cost medical treatment has been defrayed by the government it is important to perform local pharmacoeconomical studies.…”

“…And in the third, PAROLIN et al (14) report the HCV prevalence in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. In comparison to the virus prevalence in the healthy adult local population, defi ned by blood donors (0.65%), type 2 DM patients presented more anti-HCV positive tests (2%, P = 0.04).…”
