Seroprevalence of Hepatitis B in replacement and voluntary blood donors at Tertiary care center, M.Y.H. Indore
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Blood transfusion is a potentially significant route of transmission of infections to the recipient. Objective: The aim of study is to determine the seroprevalence of Hepatitis B among replacement and voluntary donors in blood bank at tertiaty care center, Indore. Material and Method: The present study included 75090 blood donors attending blood bank at tertiary care center, Indore. All the donor samples were screened for detection of surface Ag of hepatitis B. The seroprevalence of hepatitis B positive donors was calculated over a period of three years since January 2015 to December 2017. Result: In this study, out of total 75090 blood donors, replacement donors were 6710 (8.93%) while voluntary donor were 68380 (91.06%). Total 854 cases (1.13%) were HbsAg positive in the duration of three year study period. Here out of 6710 replacement donors, 246 cases (3.66%) were HbsAg positive while out of 68380 voluntary donors, 608 cases (0.88%) were HbsAg positive. Voluntary donors are more as compared to the replacement donors. Number of HbsAg positive patients were found to more in replacement donor as compared to the voluntary donors. Conclusion: The seroprevalence of Hepatitis B in present study is high among replacement donors. Strict quality control, proper counselling of donors and training of blood transfusion personnel including deferring of suspected donors may reduce transmission of HbsAg.
