AB Serum samples from 51 patients with malaria, 35 patients with hepatitis
B virus infection, 111 patients with tuberculosis, and 166 healthy
controls were studied to determine any associations between
tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis B, and AIDS in Nigeria, West Africa.
All serum samples were examined for the presence of HIV-1/HIV-2,
hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), and malaria antibodies. Only
one patient was HIV-1 antibody-positive and none HIV-2
antibody-positive. Statistical associations were found between the
presence of malaria antibody titres on the one hand and a diagnosis of
hepatitis B virus infection (P < 0.05) or tuberculosis (P < 0.05). A
stronger association (P < 0.001) was found between the presence of HBsAg
and tuberculosis suggesting that HBsAg carriers are at higher risk of
contracting tuberculosis.
