    Notes: Abstract Of 242 north Italian heroin addicts, 24 (9.9%) were HBsAg positive. HBeAg was positive in two of them (8.3%), anti-HBe in 16 (66.6%) and anti-HDV in 21 (87.5%). Of the 218 HBsAg negative, 182 (83.5%) had anti-HBc, 72 (33.0%) anti-HBe and 97 (44.5%) anti-HBs. One-hundred-eighty-five drug addicts were anti-HIV positive (76.4%); 77 of these (41.6%) were asymptomatic, 93 (50.3%) had PGL and 15 (8.1%) ARC. T4+ cell count was significantly lower in subjects with ARC as was T4+/T8+ ratio in subjects with PGL and ARC. During a median follow-up of 9.5 months (range 4–25), we observed three new cases of hepatitis (two caused by NANBV and one by HBV with HDV coinfection) and one new HIV infection. Ten anti-HIV positive subjects developed PGL and one AIDS.

    Notes: Abstract In a series of 646 heroin addicts anti-HIV was detected in 428 (66.2%) and HBsAg in 53 (8.2%). Forty-eight (90.5%) of the latter had concomitant chronic HDV infection. Markers of past HBV infection were found in 481 (74.4%). The prevalence of anti-HIV was significantly higher in the 534 subjects with HBV markers than in the other 112 without markers (69.8% versus 49.1%, p 〈 0.001). Of the 266 anti-HIV positive subjects followed for 3–48 months (median 12), nine progressed from no disease to persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (PGL), 52 from PGL to AIDS-related complex (ARC) or AIDS (30 and 22 cases respectively), and six from ARC to AIDS. Baseline T4 + cell count was significantly lower and reduction during follow-up significantly greater in heroin addicts with disease progression than in those without.
