[prevalence of hepatitis b markers in the personnel of psychiatric hospitals]. | the current rules and regulations in spain state that those working in closed institutions, helping mentally disturbed patients, are considered personnel at risk for acquiring hepatitis b virus infection, without drawing distintions between professions and fields of work. the immunological state against hbv has been studied in a representative population group of workers of the cadiz provincial psychiatric hospital (82.90%). our results show that the percentage of chronic carriers (3.15%) and th ... | 1989 | 2704866 |

[rate of infection by blood-borne viruses in active heroin users in 3 spanish cities]. | the objective of this paper was to determine the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), hepatitis c virus (hcv), hepatitis b virus (hbv) and human t lymphotropic virus (htlv) infections in active heroin users in spain. | 2004 | 15144744 |

[hepatitis b case grouping serological study among six chinese families in almeria, spain]. | following the detection of two cases of members of 6 chinese families having tested positive for the hepatitis b virus, a study of those living in these families was begun for the purpose of knowing the spread of the infection within the family environment of the cases detected. | 2004 | 15666510 |
htlv infection among young injection and non-injection heroin users in spain: prevalence and correlates. | although some studies have described the epidemiology of infection with hiv or hepatitis b and c in young users in spain - one of the european countries with the highest prevalences - there are no studies of the prevalence of htlv infection and the most important associated factors. | 2006 | 16143565 |
poor validity of self-reported hbv vaccination among young heroin users in spain supports the policy "don't ask, draw a blood sample, vaccinate and try to schedule another visit". | to assess the validity of self-reported hepatitis b virus vaccination status in young heroin users. | 2007 | 17088099 |
hepatitis b vaccination: an unmet challenge in the era of harm reduction programs. | the prevalence of vaccination against hepatitis b virus (hbv), factors associated with vaccination, and missed opportunities for vaccination were assessed among 949 street-recruited young injecting heroin users (ihus) and noninjecting hus (nihus). a cross-sectional study was carried out in madrid, barcelona, and seville. face-to-face interviews were held using a structured questionnaire with computer-assisted personal interviewing. dried blood spot samples were tested for anti-hbv core antigen a ... | 2008 | 17869476 |

increased regulatory t cell counts in hiv-infected nonresponders to hepatitis b virus vaccine. | hepatitis b virus (hbv) coinfection is a main cause of liver-related mortality in human immunodeficiency virus (hiv)-infected subjects. unfortunately, hiv-infected subjects show a low rate of response to standard hbv vaccination (23%-56%), in contrast to rates >90% found in the general population, and the underlying causes (particularly cellular and molecular causes) are still unknown. we hypothesized that an increased frequency of regulatory t (t(reg)) cells could be involved in the low rate of ... | 2010 | 20560766 |
