静脉注射吸毒人群丙型肝炎病毒感染研究进展

Recent research about hepatitis C virus infection among intravenous drug users

吸毒是世界性难题,其导致的公共卫生问题直接影响一般人群的健康.静脉注射吸毒者(IVDUs)人群丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染率远远高于一般人群,是重要的传染源.本文概述近年来国内外学者在IVDUs人群HCV感染方面的主要研究成果和观点,探讨IVDUs人群感染HCV的病毒学特点,重点介绍IVDUs人群吸毒方式,吸毒年限,器具共用,性行为特征以及民族差异等因素对该人群感染HCV的影响作用.

Drug use is a worldwide difficult problem, which leads to a series of public health problem harmful to common population. Hepatitis C virus infection rate among intravenous drug users （IVDUs） is obviously higher than that among common population. IVDUs are an important source of infection. This article summarizes mainly research results and standpoints in the field of HCV infection among IVDUs, the virology characteristics of the infection, particularly reviews the risk factors for the infection such as intravenous, years of drug use, sharing equipment, sexual risk behaviors, ethnic background and prevention, control of HCV infection among IVDUs.
