Abstract
Para determinar si la seropositividad de virus de hepatitis c y la infección por virus de la hepatitis b activa en pacientes con VIH varían con los pacientes"orígenes geográficos, estudiamos co-infecciones en adultos seropositivos de VIH. Infección de hepatitis b activa fue más frecuente en las personas procedentes de África, y hepatitis c seropositividad era más común en las personas de Europa oriental
To determine if hepatitis C virus seropositivity and active hepatitis B virus infection in HIV-positive patients vary with patients' geographic origins, we studied co-infections in HIV-seropositive adults. Active hepatitis B infection was more prevalent in persons from Africa, and hepatitis C seropositivity was more common in persons from eastern Europe.
