人类疱疹病毒 8 (HHV-8)、巨细胞病毒 (CMV) 和 Epstein-Barr 病毒 (EBV) 在非洲流行,但在其他地方不太常见,而且传播方式仍存在争议。一般来说,它们很少在免疫功能正常的宿主中引起疾病​​,但当与免疫抑制相关时具有高度致癌性。尽管 HHV-8、CMV 和 EBV 的高流行率在非洲已得到充分记录,但加纳的此类数据却很少。通过 IgG ELISA 检测,对 3275 名 HIV 血清阴性健康献血者和 250 名 HIV-AIDS 患者的血清样本进行了 HHV-8、CMV 和 EBV 特异性抗体检测。使用带有耶茨校正的卡方检验评估不同性别和年龄的血清阳性率差异。在接受测试的 3275 名 HIV 血清阴性健康献血者中,2573 名 (78.6%) 为男性,702 名 (21.4%) 为女性,年龄范围为 18 至 65 岁(中位数 32.6;平均值 31.2;众数 30)。在接受测试的 250 名 HIV-AIDS 患者中,140 名(56%)为男性,110 名(44%)为女性,年龄范围为 17 至 64 岁(中位数 30.8;平均 30.3;众数 28)。在HIV血清阴性的健康献血者中,HHV-8、CMV和EBV的总体血清阳性率分别为23.7%、77.6%和20.0%。在HIV-AIDS患者中,HHV-8、CMV和EBV的总体血清阳性率分别为65.6%、59.2%和87.2%。与 HIV 血清阴性健康献血者相比,HIV-AIDS 患者中 HHV-8 (p < 0.005) 和 EBV (p < 0.001) 的血清阳性率在统计学上显着较高。 HIV-AIDS 患者和 HIV 血清阴性健康献血者的 CMV 血清阳性率之间没有统计学显着差异 (p = 0.24)。对于加纳 HIV 血清阴性健康献血者和 HIV 艾滋病患者中的所有三种感染,年龄和性别并不是独立决定因素 (p > 0.05)。本文提出的结果表明,HHV-8、CMV 和 EBV 感染在 HIV 血清阴性和 HIV 血清阳性加纳人中均为高流行,并表明这三种病毒感染在加纳主要是水平传播途径。
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are prevalent in Africa, but less common elsewhere and the modes of transmission are still subject to debate. Generally, they rarely cause disease in the immunocompetent host but are highly oncogenic when associated with immunosuppression. Although the high prevalence of HHV-8, CMV and EBV has been well documented in Africa, such data are sparse from Ghana. Serum samples from 3275 HIV-seronegative healthy blood donors and 250 HIV-AIDS patients were tested for antibodies specific for HHV-8, CMV and EBV by IgG ELISA assays. Differences in seropositivity rates by gender and age were evaluated using the Chi-square test with Yates correction. Of the 3275 HIV-seronegative healthy blood donors tested, 2573 (78.6%) were males and 702 (21.4%) were females, with ages ranging from 18 to 65 years (median 32.6; mean 31.2; mode 30). Of the 250 HIV-AIDS patients tested, 140 (56%) were males and 110 (44%) were females, with ages ranging from 17 to 64 years (median 30.8; mean 30.3; mode 28). Among the HIV-seronegative healthy blood donors, overall seroprevalence of HHV-8, CMV and EBV was 23.7%, 77.6% and 20.0%, respectively. Among the HIV-AIDS patients, overall seroprevalence of HHV-8, CMV and EBV was 65.6%, 59.2% and 87.2%, respectively. The seroprevalence of HHV-8 (p < 0.005) and EBV (p < 0.001) was statistically significantly higher in HIV-AIDS patients compared to HIV-seronegative healthy blood donors. There was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.24) between CMV seroprevalence in HIV-AIDS patients and HIV-seronegative healthy blood donors. Age and gender were not independent determinants (p > 0.05) for all three infections among HIV-seronegative healthy blood donors and HIV-AIDS patients in Ghana. The results presented herein indicate that HHV-8, CMV and EBV infections are hyperendemic in both HIV-seronegative and HIV-seropositive Ghanaians, and suggest primarily a horizontal route of transmission of these three viral infections in Ghana.
