Abstract

Background and objective: HTLVI/IlI is a member of retroviridae family and subfamily of oncovirinae. HTLV infection is transmitted in at least three ways: from mother to child, especially in breast milk; through sexual activity; more commonly from men to women and through the blood- Via contaminated transfusions or contaminated needles. Since HTLV can transmitting through parentral drug abuse and is a rather widespread infection between IVDU, we decide to evaluate prevalence of HTLV in IVDU for first time in Iran.Material and methods: this was descriptive study in which blood samples of IVDU that were admitted in infectious disease ward of Loghman hospital were taken.Blood samples for detection of HTLVI/II infection markers were tested by Eliza method. A questioner was provided for data collection of each person the collected data was analyzed with using SPSS software.Results: Out of 96 IVDU, HTLVI/II antibody was positive in 12 cases (12.5%). The mean age of patients was 35.3 year, (range 21-60 years). The average of injection duration was 3.7 years (Range 1-20 years). The average of injection duration in with and without positive serology was 3.9 and 3.7 years respectively.There was no significant difference between injection duration, history of prison residency, History of blood transfusion and mean age of patients with and without positive serology though.Conclusions: the prevalence of HTLVI/II in IVDU patients of Loghman hospital was lower compared to other study. However, Regarding to high prevalence rate of this Virus in IVDU It is needed to give more attention to prophylactic measures for prevention of spread of HTLV in this group.
