抄録
Among the populations of Tonga and Western Samoa, serum antibodies against human immunodeficiency virus or hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome virus were not detected (0/904 and 0/192) . No serum samples were considered to be positive for antibody against human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (0/527) . Hepatitis B antigen and antibody were found in 4% (8/192) and 47% (90/192), respectively. Chlamydia trachomatis IgG and C. psittaci IgG antibodies were detected in 39% (75/192) and 47% (91/192), respectively. The possibilities of the spread of human immunodeficiency virus and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome virus on the islands when the viruses invade from abroad were discussed.
