Abstract
Hepatitis B virus infection is transmitted disease through blood.HbsAg is a specific first marker which appears first in blood after infection. Objectives of the study were to determine the trends of seroprevalence of Hepatitis B infection and to compare the seroprevalence of Hepatitis B infection positivity in Voluntary and Replacement donor. A retrospective study was conducted at the blood bank of a tertiary care hospital, Rohilkhand Medical college and Hospital Bareilly, for the period of 3 years with effect from Jan 2012 to Dec 2014 to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B infection by one step immune assay (hepa card). Total 10,994 blood donors were screened, out of that 4,733 (43.05 %) were voluntary donors and 6,261 (56.94%) were replacement donors. The prevalence rate of HBsAg seropositivity in replacement donors were found 69 (1.10%) and in voluntary donors 35(0.73%) and overall prevalence rate of HBsAg in 104(0.94%) among the total donors. Males dominant than females with a number having 10,330 and 664 respectively having male female donors ratio 15.5:1.The age of donors were in between 18 -60 yrs in average 29.7 years. Out of 10,994 donors mostly 7,271 (66.13%) were belongs to 25 -35 years group. Keywords: Donors, HbsAg marker, Seroprevalence
