摘要
应用逆转录-套式聚合酶链反应(RT-nPCR)法,对26例散发性戊型肝炎(HE)患者发病后4~28天收集的91份粪便标本进行HEVRNA检测,并与同病期系列血清HEVRNA及ALT水平作比较,以了解散发性HE患者的粪便排病毒规律。结果表明,患者粪便HEVRNA阳性率为42.3%(11/26),与血清HEVRNA阳性率(53.8%)相比无显著性差异(P>0.05)。粪便HEVRNA检出率在发病头5天内为75%(3/4),随后即与血清ALT水平一样出现明显下降,于发病后16~20天降至19.2%(5/26),最长一例持续阳性至发病后23天。上述结果提示,HE患者的粪便排病毒主要发生在疾病的急性期早期,将其隔离期定为病后3周可能比较合理。
reverse transcriptionnested polymerase chain reaction(RTnPCR)assay was used for the detection of HEV RNA in 91 fecal specimens collected from 26 hospitalized patients with sporadic hepatitis E.The patterns of virus shedding in feces were compared with viremia of HEV,as well as the dynamics of serum ALT levels.The results revealed that 11 of 26(423%)patients showed HEV RNA in feces,compared with 533% in serum.The positive rate of HEV RNA in fecal specimens was 75%(3/4) within 5 days of illness,and declined dramatically with the course of the disease in consis tence with the levels of serum ALT.Only 5 of 26(192%) fecal specimens obtained from 16 to 20 days of illness were HEV RNA positive,1 of which persisted shedding up to the 23rd day after onset of the disease.It suggest that excretion of virus in stools of patients with hepatitis E happens during early acute phase of the disease,and the clinical isolation period of three weeks after onset of illness may be reliable.
