Abstract

Introduction: Although war injuries have been reported to be a risk factor for VIRAL HEPATITIS, few studies on the health status of former PRISONERS OF WAR (POWs) from this perspective have been published. This study presents 5 former POWs with VIRAL HEPATITIS.Methods: This study reports the demographic data and the records of physical examinations and laboratory findings of 5 Iranian POWs with VIRAL HEPATITIS at Tehran Hepatitis Center in 2004. Also, previous relevant literature is reviewed and discussed. Results: Three patients were infected with hepatitis B virus (inactive carrier) and 2 with hepatitis C virus. All had been injected with non-disposable syringes and subjected to torture or flogging, and some had undergone surgery during captivity all were asymptomatic and were diagnosed by screening.Discussion: This study cannot relate VIRAL HEPATITIS in these 5 patients directly to their captivity; however, it suggests IATROGENIC TRANSMISSION of VIRAL HEPATITIS in this population. Further studies are recommended with screening of VIRAL HEPATITIS in POWs so the patients can be treated effectively, transmission rates can be reduced and certain cases of liver transplantation can be avoided. The confirmation of such a hypothesis could be useful, in addition, pave the way for future compensation claims for our former POWs and their families.
