[Impact of hepatitis B virus infection versus stage 3 HIV infection on serum lipids].

The purpose of the study was to compare the impact of hepatitis B infection and Stage 3 (subclinical) HIV infection on serum lipids. The values of the serum lipid spectrum were studied in 30 patients with acute hepatitis B, 50 patients with Stage 3 IIIV infection, and 50 healthy individuals. The impact of hepatitis B virus infection and HIV infection on the serum lipid spectrum was ascertained to differ greatly. Just in Stage 3 (subclinical), with its history of less than 5 years, HIV injection causes more substantial lipid metabolic changes than moderate acute viral hepatitis.
