Then blood was tested for HBsAg. Results: HBsAgpositivity is highest in age-group of 21-40 years with a male preponderance. Maximum number of HBsAg positive cases had alcohol as a risk factor. Seroprevalence of Hep B in patients with drug addiction(23.3%), blood transfusion (16%) and HCC (25%). Overall 26% seropositivity of HBsAg in hepatic disorders.
