标题：Prevalence of Human Immunodificency Virus, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C viral infections among forensic autopsy cases at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia
摘要：A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B (HBV), and Hepatitis C (HCV) viruses among forensic autopsy cases at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka Zambia. The study enrolled three hundred and three adult decedents with a median age 34 (interquartile range: 28 - –42) years, age range (18–67). Males predominated (87.1 %). The seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, and HIV and HBV co-infection was 32.7 %, 7.9 %, 1.3 % and 2.6 % respectively. HIV infection was highest in suicides (37.8 %) and accidents (36.6 %). In conclusion, HIV infection was higher than that of the general population.
