AbstractViral hepatitis is one of the world's most common viral illnesses. Hepatitis B virus infection is a global health problem, and its importance in dentistry is well recognized. The role of saliva in the transmission of hepatitis B makes dentists and dental personnel particularly vulnerable to hepatitis B infection. The objective of this study was to predict the efficacy of saliva as a tool for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), which is the hallmark of the infection. The study group comprised 70 patients, 35 of whom were known to be hepatitis B infection seropositive (test group) and the remaining 35 who did not have hepatitis B (control group). All of the subjects were tested with enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. Of the 35 seropositive subjects, HBsAg was detected in the saliva samples of 26 subjects. The sensitivity and specificity of saliva as a diagnostic tool for detecting HBsAg antigen in this study was 74.29% and 100%, respectively. Because of its noninvasive nature, saliva can be effectively used for large-scale Hepatitis B virus detection.

摘要

病毒性肝炎是世界上最常见的病毒性疾病之一。 B型肝炎病毒感染是一个全球性的健康问题，其在牙科中的重要性是公认的。唾液中的乙肝传播中的作用，使牙医和牙科人员，特别是容易受到


B型肝炎感染。本研究的目的是预测唾液的功效，作为一个工具，检测乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg），这是感染的标志。研究组包括70例患者，其中35人被称为是B型肝炎感染阳性（试验组）和其余35人没有B型肝炎（对照组）。所有受试者进行了测试与酶联免疫吸附试验。乙肝表面抗原阳性的35个科目，在26个科目的唾液样本检测。作为诊断工具，在这项研究中的乙肝表面抗原抗原检测唾液中的敏感性和特异性分别为74.29％和100％。由于其非侵入性的性质，唾液可以有效地用于大规模B型肝炎病毒检测。

更方便的检测技术啊，对国内来说未必是好事。歧视会否更严重

他们应该检测HBVDNA是否在唾液中.
