“…The positive association between leprosy and HBV infection has been repeatedly reported since the 1970s, 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 although absence of association has also been found. 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 Prevalence of HBV–leprosy co-infection depends on many factors, such as local endemicity and the sensitivity of methods used for HBV detection.…”

“…Many authors considered only the prevalence of HBsAg. 9 , 12 , 13 , 15 , 20 , 24 , 25 , 28 , 29 Others determined the prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HBs, 14 , 17 , 19 , 22 , 30 , 31 whereas some screened only for anti-HBc. 6 , 16 , 32 In contrast, we considered as HBV infected, patients having an active infection (HBsAg positive only, or anti-HBc and HBsAg positive) and patients who were exposed to the virus, with or without developing specific antibodies against it (positive for anti-HBc and/or anti-HBs).…”

“…Studies on the seroprevalence of HBV in leprosy have also analyzed the association of serological markers with the clinical form of the disease, with the leprosy operational classification and with the occurrence of leprosy reactions . However, HBV DNA, the molecular marker of HBV infection, has been poorly investigated in this group of patients .…”

“…Τα αποτελέσματα όμως υπήρξαν αντιφατικά. Πολλοί ερευνητές ανέ φεραν αυξημένη συχνότητα HBsAg, ιδίως στην LL μορφή της νόσου (Blumberg et al, 1967, Blumberg και Melartin, 1970, Ananthakrishnan et al, 1972, Papaevangelou et al, 1972, Kelkar et al, 1974, Saha και Duta 1977, Saoji και Mene 1978, Thyagarajan et al, 1978, Zyngier et al, 1979, Fakunle και Whittle, 1981. Αντίθετα, άλλοι ερευνητές δεν παρατήρη σαν διαφορά στη συχνότητα του HBsAg μεταξύ των ασθενών στις διάφορες μορφές της νόσου του Hansen ή μεταξύ ασθενών και μαρ τύρων (Salzano και , Lechat et al, 1973, Papageorgiou et al, 1972, Shwe και Zuckerman, 1972, Swanepoel και Cruickshank, 1972, Sher et al, 1977, Delia et al, 1977, Chiron et al, 1978.…”

“…Πολλές μελέτες ακο λούθησαν οι οποίες επιβεβαίωσαν τα ευρήματα όσο και την υπόθεση των Blumberg και συν. (1967) (Papaevangelou et al, 1972, Kelkar et al, 1974, Zyngier et al, 1979. Εντούτοις, εάν το ανοσολογικό έλλειμμα των ασθενών αυτών είναι υπεύθυνο για την αυξημένη φορεία, αλλά και αν υπάρχει αυξημένη φορεία, μεγαλύτερη από την αναμενόμενη στον πληθυσμό αυτών των ατόμων που για μεγάλο διάστημα ζουν στο νοσοκομειακό περιβάλλον, υπάρχει αμφισβήτηση.…”
