目的了解TTV感染状况,探讨TTV致病性及对干扰素治疗的应答。方法采用PCR和原位杂交方法检测血清和肝组织中TTV DNA,回顾分析8例TTV/HCV感染者干扰素治疗后病毒及ALT应答状况。结果各型肝病患者(36.7%~42.8%)和职业供血员(43.2%)TTV感染率均显著高于义务供血员(健康对照人群,5.6%)。部分感染者采用斑点杂交方法可自血清中检出TTV DNA(3/30,10.0%),提示存在较高的血清病毒负荷, 16例慢性非甲~戊型肝炎患者及16例肝炎后肝硬化患者肝组织以原位杂交检测,各6例TTV DNA阳性(37.5%)。 8例TTV/HCV混合感染者经24周疗程干扰素治疗后,6例维持持久ALT应答(停药后24周ALT正常),治疗12周时, 8例血清TTV DNA均阴转,但 2例停药后复阳, ALT无应答的2例患者, HCV RNA呈阳性但TTV DNA阴怀;而TTV DNA阳转的2例患者ALT均维持应答。结论 TTV感染在肝病患者和职业供血员中较普遍, TTV可在肝组织中活跃复制,其对干扰素治疗反应较敏感,TTV/HCV重叠感染时TTV无明显致肝损伤作用。
Objective To understand the status of TTV infection and to explore the pathogenicity of TTV and its response to interferon therapy. Methods The TTV DNA in serum and liver tissue were detected by PCR and in situ hybridization. The virus and ALT response of 8 TTV / HCV infected patients after treatment with interferon were retrospectively analyzed. Results The prevalence of TTV in all kinds of liver diseases (36.7% -42.8%) and professional blood donors (43.2%) were significantly higher than those in voluntary donors (5.6% in healthy controls). TTV DNA (3/30, 10.0%) was detected in sera of some infected patients by dot blot hybridization, which indicated that there was a high serum viral load, 16 patients with chronic non-hepatitis E and hepatitis E and 16 after hepatitis Liver cirrhosis patients by in situ hybridization detection, 6 cases of TTV DNA positive (37.5%). Twenty-eight patients with TTV / HCV infection maintained long-term ALT response (normal ALT at 24 weeks after treatment) after 24 weeks of treatment with interferon. After 8 weeks of treatment, serum TTV DNA was negative in all 8 patients, but two Two patients with no response after ALT and ALT withdrawal had HCV RNA positive but negative TTV DNA, while two patients with TTV DNA positive ALT maintained response. Conclusion TTV infection is more common in liver disease patients and occupational blood donors. TTV can be actively replicated in liver tissue, which is more sensitive to interferon treatment. TTV / HCV infection does not induce liver injury obviously.
