Soroprevalência da infecção pelo vírus da Hepatite B em uma prisão brasileira

Abstract: Esta pesquisa objetivou estimar a prevalência do marcador do HBV e seus fatores de risco na população masculina carcerária da Penitenciária de Ribeirão Preto - SP, Brasil. De 1.030 presidiários, foram sorteados 333 participantes, os quais foram submetidos à aplicação de um questionário e à coleta de sangue, no período de maio a agosto de 2003. Para diagnóstico de exposição ao HBV foi utilizado o ensaio imunoabsorvente de ligação de enzimas (ELISA) para detecção dos marcadores HBsAg, anti-HBsAg e anti-HBc total… Show more

“…International studies show that the overall HBV infection ranges from 1.8% to 62% [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] among adult inmates. Studies conducted with prisoners in Brazil determined HBV seroprevalence ranging from 11.1% to 26.4% 8,11,14,15 . This population is considered to be at high risk of HBV infection due to the prison lifestyle, including illicit drug use, unsafe sex with multiple sexual partners, homosexuality and tattooing.…”

“…Although knowledge regarding the epidemiological status of HBV infection among the prison population is important to identify specific risk factors in order to implement appropriate prevention measures 9 , few studies in this population have been conducted in Brazil 8,11,15,18 . Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and associated factors for HBV infection among prison inmates in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul.…”

“…The registered growth in the period of 2000–2014 was on average 7% per year, an amount 10 times bigger than the Brazilian population growth, 94% of the quota being male [1,2]. Populations deprived of freedom are considered high-risk for sexually transmitted diseases, due to the favourable conditions encountered in prison for the propagation of diseases [3,4]. The State of Paraná presents the fifth biggest jail population in Brazil accounting for 4.61% of that population and has tried over the years to develop health attention policies to the convicted within the National Health Plan at the Penitentiary System (PNSSP) [5].…”

“…Embora, em alguns casos, não se possa precisar se foram adquiridas dentro ou fora da instituição, as suas características facilitam o contágio e a aquisição de moléstias típicas de grupamentos e da falta de cuidados à saúde (cf. Nogueira e Abrahão, 2009; Martelli et al, 1990;Sánchez et al, 2007;Coelho et al, 2009).…”
