[Exploration on the association between the pattern of HBV markers and infection of HCV among population].

Sera from 193 cases with positive HBV markers in April 1993 were detected for infection of HCV to explore the association between the pattern of HBV markers and the infection of HCV among population. The result showed that 14 patterns were found: the pattern of positive HBsAg, HBeAb, HBcAb (43.01%) and the pattern of positive HBsAg, HBeAg, HBcAb (30.57%) were more often seen. The percentage of HCV infection among cases infected with HBV was 11.39%. The difference of the positive rate of anti-HCV among various patterns of HBV markers was significant (chi 2 = 24.48, P = 2.062 x 10(-5).
