AB We evaluate hepatobiliary complications and serological markers in viral
hepatitis in a prospective study since February 1992. RESULTS: Patients
108 (51 AIDS-CDC 1993). Average follow-up 245 days (range 60-690). Sex:
M 81/F 27. Average age 31.8 (range 21-69). Risk group: IVDU 72,
Homosexual 27, Heterosexual 8, Transfusion 1. We obtained the following
results: (I) Hepatobiliary complications 92 in 78 patients (78/108:
70.3%). Complications: chronic viral hepatitis 25 (19 HCV, 3 HBV, 1
HCV+HBV, 1 HBV+HDV, 1 HBV+HCV+HDV); without filiation 17; mild
alterations 14 (GPT and/or GGT < 1.5 times limit of normal); infectious
diseases 10 (cholangitis/chole-cystitis 6, tuberculosis 3, bacteremia
1); hepatotoxic agents 10; multiple factors 8 (HCV+Alcohol 7,
HCV+hepatotoxic agents 1); alcoholism 1; acute viral hepatitis (HCV) 2;
other 5 (2 angioma, 1 hepatocarcinoma, 1 cholelitiasis, 1 hydatid cyst).
(II) Serological markers: 1) HBV: a) HBsAg+ 8% (HBeAg+ 50%)
(Co-infection HDV 28.5%), b) HBsAg- with anti-HBc+ 72.7%, c) HCV 62.7%
(we exclude the patients with EIA+ and a second-generation RIBA test
indeterminate or negative). CONCLUSIONS: 1) Hepatobiliary complications
are common in HIV-patients (71.5%). 2) chronic viral hepatitis HCV is
the most frequent disease due to the 66.6% are IVDU. 3) In our
experience, serological markers of HBV and HCV are detected in 81.1% (8%
with HBsAg+) and 62.7% respectively.
