متن کاملHepatitis B coinfection in HIV-infected patients
Results HIV-HBV coinfection prevalence was 19.9%. We noticed a slightly higher frequency of coinfection in males (53.2%), most patients belonging to the age group 20-29 (86.5%), the median age of the group being 25.56 years. The predominant route of transmission was parenteral (57.5%), heterosexual being found in a significant proportion (40.1%). The mean CD4 cell count was 246.20 cells/cmm, ov...
