摘要：

Needle sharing among drug addicts leads to the transmission of infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and AIDS. After development of a test system based on gene technology against the hepatitis C virus (HCV), drug addicts have been regarded as an important reservoir for hepatitis C. In our study 113 (40.1%) out of 282 addicts who died from drug abuse in Hamburg between 1988 and 1990 had antibodies against HCV (anti-HCV). The prevalence of anti-HCV differed in various age groups; the highest prevalence was found in addicts aged 30-34 years. Co-infections with hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus were found in 57 drug addicts (59.4%) out of 96 deceased with antibodies to hepatitis B (anti-HBc), whereas only 8 out of 23 HIV-infected were anti-HCV positive (34.8%).
