摘要
Objectives: To find out the seroprevalence of Hepatitis B and C virus among the healthy blood donors at Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi. Study design: A prospective observational study Place and duration of study: From April 2005 to September 2005 at Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi. Subjects and Methods: All healthy blood donors reporting to blood bank were screened for Hepatitis B and C. Results: Total number of 1428 donors were screened, among them 97.05% were mates. Prevalence of Hepatitis B was 2.45% with a mate predominance of 2.38%. Seroprevalence of Hepatitis C was 2.52% with mate predominance of 2.52%. Conclusion: Prevalence of Hepatitis B and C is not uncommon in our country. Transfusion of contaminated blood is one of the important cause of its spread. To control its further spread public awareness and health education programs and selection of healthy blood donors should be done.
