Hepatitis-B,C,HIV and TB among intravenous drug users continues to be a serious explanation for disease and death, this study was conducted to survey the prevalence of Hepatitis-B,C,HIV and TB in rehabilitation center of Punjab, Pakistan. A telephonic and visited survey of 78 rehabilitation centers in Punjab Pakistan to assess their treatment. An analysis of 21 responded that returned useable data revealed that only 7.2% patients of responded rehabilitation centers are positive for HEP-B. 33.23% patients are positive for HEP-C, 8.74% patients are positive for HIV and 0.87% patients are positive for TB. Majority of the respondent of whom doctors, psychologists believe that the patient, partner of the patient and their children should be offered for HEP-B,C,HIV and TB screening regularly.

Contact Tracing

The secondary attack rate for delta hepatitis coinfection was estimated among a cluster of injection drug users (IDUs). The infections occurred during an epidemic of hepatitis B in a rural area of Nova Scotia in 1988 and 1989. Six IDUs formed a cluster of delta hepatitis coinfections, representing the first reported outbreak of delta hepatitis in Canada. Contact-tracing was used to identify a cluster of 41 IDUs potentially exposed to delta hepatitis. The index case of delta hepatitis coinfection was presumed to have led to five secondary cases. The secondary attack rate was estimated to be 13.2% (95% confidence interval 0.044 to 0.281). The estimated secondary attack rate may be a useful predictor of disease due to delta hepatitis coinfection in similar IDU populations.
