Study of Some Serological Markers (Hbs Ag, Anti-Hbs and AntHbc Igm) for Detection of Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection Among Blood Donors in Diyala Province

Abstract

The present study was conducted in Diyala province for the period from15/ 1 / 2016 to 15 / 12/ 2016, In the Central Blood Bank in the public Health Laboratory in Diyala. The aim of the study was to detection the rate of Occult Hepatitis B virus infection among blood donors using ELISA test to screening different serological markers (HBs Ag, anti- HBs and anti- HBc IgM). The study included; 200 apparently healthy blood donors were attended central blood bank in Diyala. 183of blood donors were males and 17 were females. The age range was 18 years to 58 years. The results showed that the rate of HBs Ag among blood donors (4.5%), and the rate of anti-HBs was (10%), while the rate of anti-HBc IgM was (4%). The present results revealed that the rate of anti-HBs was (9.4%) among HBs Ag negative blood donors, and the anti-HBc IgM (4.1%).While the rate of positive serological markers was 13.6%. The present study showed that there was relationship between the HBs Ag positivity rate and anti-HBs against anti-HBc IgM do not have.
