Abstract

Objective: Torque teno virus (TTV) infects patients at risk for parenteral exposure and chronic blood transfusion, such as those with &#946;-thalassemic. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of TTV infection and co-infection of TTV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in pediatric thalassemia patients receiving chronic blood transfusion. Material and Methods: The study included 90 pediatric thalassemia patients receiving chronic blood transfusion that presented to the Mofid Children&#8217;s Hospital, Tehran, Iran. The control group included 90 healthy volunteer children. Serum TTV DNA detection via semi-nested PCR and HCV Ab were performed in all the participants. Demographic characteristics and clinical data were collected from each participant for statistical analysis. Results: In all, 64.4% of the patients had TTV infection, versus 24.4% of the controls (P < 0.01). The thalassemia patients had a greater probability of having TTV and HCV infections than the controls, with a common OR of 5.60 (95% CI: 2.94-10.69) and 2.15 (95% CI: 1.83-2.50), respectively. In total, 17.2% (10/58) of the patients that were TTV positive were also HCV positive, whereas 6.3% (2/32) of the TTV-negative patients were anti-HCV antibody (Ab) positive (P = 0.14). Conclusion: The prevalence of TTV and HCV infection was higher in the Iranian thalassemia patients on chronic transfusion therapy than in the controls. The high prevalence of TTV in pediatric thalassemia patients on chromic transfusion therapy may indicate the superiority of the parenteral route compared to other routs of TTV transmission.

Özet

Amaç: Torque teno virüsü (TTV) beta talasemik hastalar gibi kronik kan transfüzyonu ve parenteral yoldan maruz kalma açısından risk altındaki hastaları enfekte eder. Bu çalışma kronik kan transfüzyonu alan pediatrik talasemi hastalarında TTV enfeksiyonu ve TTV ile hepatit C virüsü (HCV) koenfeksiyonunun prevalansını değerlendirmeyi hedeflemiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya İran’da Tahran’da Mofid Çocuk Hastanesine gelen ve kronik kan transfüzyonu alan 90 pediatrik talasemi hastası dahil edilmiştir. Kontrol grubu 90 sağlıklı gönüllü çocuğu içermiştir. Tüm katılımcılarda semi-nested PCR ve HCV Ab yoluyla serum TTV DNA’sı saptaması yapılmıştır. Her katılımcıdan istatistiksel analiz için demografik özellikler ve klinik veriler toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Genel olarak hastaların %64,4’ünde ve kontrol grubunun %24,4’ünde TTV enfeksiyonu bulunmuştur (P < 0,01). Talasemi hastalarında kontrol grubuna göre TTV ve HCV enfeksiyonu bulunması olasılığı olması daha yüksek olmuştur ve ortak risk oranı sırasıyla 5,60 (%95 GA: 2,94-10,69) ve 2,15 (%95 GA: 1,83-2,50) bulunmuştur. Toplam olarak TTV pozitif hastaların %17,2’si (10/58) HCV pozitifken TTV negatif hastaların %6,3’ü (2/32) anti HCV antikoru (Ab) pozitiftir (P = 0,14). Sonuç: TTV ve HCV enfeksiyonu prevalansı kronik transfüzyon tedavisi alan İranlı talasemi hastalarında kontrollerden daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Kronik transfüzyon tedavisi alan pediatrik talasemi hastalarında yüksek TTV prevalansı parenteral yolun diğer TTV bulaşması yollarına göre daha sık kullanılmasına işaret edebilir.
