Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of distribution of hepatitis A, B, C and E as well as opportunistic infections among immunosuppressed patients and healthy people. Results of this epidemiological study suggest hepatitis E as an AIDS-associated infection. Combination of anti-HEV and anti-HAV antibodies was the most prevalent in all groups studied. Hepatitis E virus was shown to be a cofactor of activation and reactivation of opportunistic infections among at risk populations and healthy people.
