Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: More than 80% of hepatitis cases are caused by five types of hepatitis viruses (A-E), which known as hepatotropic viruses, The remaining of the 20% cases and also 10% transfusion associated hepatitis are tested negative for all viral hepatitis, that suggest the existence of other hepatitis agents. The latest novel virus proposed as a cause of this kind of hepatitis (non-A-E) is a SEN virus (SENV). This virus was discovered in the serum of an injection drug user (IDU) infected with a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). And was found subsequently in a large percentage of IDUs and polytransfused patients.This study was designed to search the prevalence of SEN-V among blood donors in Nyala city.SENV DNA was determined by polymerase chain reaction in serum samples from 100 healthy individuals attended to the blood bank of the Nyala teaching hospital.SEN-V was detected in 19 from 100 (19%) of healthy blood donors.SEN-V can be transmitted via blood transfusion. Keywords:SEN -virus (SENV); polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
