Summary
The presence and distribution of HBV markers were investigated in diabetic patients in comparison with healthy blood donors in Palermo. Statistical analysis showed that significant differences exist only in the prevalence of the anti-HBc marker, which occurs more frequently in diabetics treated with oral hypoglycemic therapy only.
Zusammenfassung
Das Vorkommen und die Verteilung von HBV-Markern wurde bei Diabetikern im Vergleich zu gesunden Blutspendern aus der Region Palermo untersucht. Die statistische Analyse zeigte, daß signifikante Unterschiede nur bezüglich der Prävalenz des Anti-HBC-Markers bestehen, die häufiger bei Diabetikern auftreten, die nur mit oralen Antidiabetika behandelt wurden.
