3. In psychiatric institutions ... High Rates of Undiagnosed Hepatitis C Seen

A high rate of hepatitis among institutionalized patients is expected, because of comorbid problems of drug use, poor hygiene and risky behavior, said Gregory Asnis, MD, professor of psychiatry and director of the Anxiety and Depression Program, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva University, and director of the Anxiety and Depression Program, Montefiore Medical Center, New York City. However, he added, these findings are important because they suggest institutionalized mentally ill patients other than drug users are at risk.
"If non-drug use psychiatric patients still had high incidence of hepatitis C, does a psychiatric illness somehow predispose people to hepatitis C? It's a little mystery as to what this means," said Dr. Asnis. "If this finding proves true in other major cities, the issue of getting this as a screen makes sense, because this disease frequently goes unrecognized."
Over a two-month period in the fall of 2000, 83 of 96 (50% male) patients admitted to Harris County's (Houston) Ben Taub General Hospital were tested for HCV antibodies. Serum samples were tested and retested with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Axes I and II diagnoses and previous risk factors for infection were collected.
