- W2597991771 abstract "Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a major global healthproblem. More than three-quarters of HBV infections occur in Asia, the Middle East and Africa.HCV causes an acute and necroinflamatory disease of liver. Blood serves as a vehicle fortransmission of blood-borne pathogens including hepatitis viruses. Determination of theprevalence of HBV and HCV in a population in general, and blood-donors in particular willcertainly help in reviewing the screening procedures and making health policy decisions.Objective: The study aims at investigating the seroprevalence of HBV, HCV and associated riskfactors among healthy adult blood donor in Wolaita Sodo Hospital, and Christian hospital, WolaitaZone, Ethiopia.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of HBV andHCV infections among blood donors at Wolaita Sodo Hospital, and Christian hospital, WolaitaZone, Ethiopia. The blood samples were screened for HBV and HCV. All serum samples weretested for HBsAg and anti-HCV using rapid screening kit method according to the manufacturer’sinstruction. The socio-demographic characteristics and associated risk factors of blood donorswere assessed using structured questionnaire.Results: A total of 148 blood donors were tested .The mean age of study participants was 28.8years ± 5.8.The overall prevalence of HBV and HCV were 10.1% (15/148) and 8.8% (13/148)respectively. The risk factors associated with significant association was observed in sharp injuryand teeth extraction for HBsAg (p=0.036 (OR=4.06) and p=0.035 (OR=3.36)).Conclusion: Screening blood donors for both HBC and HCV is indispensable for safe bloodtransfusion. It is important to screen donated blood with highly sensitive and specific tests and tocounsel donors who are positive to any of the above infections. It is absolutely necessary to avoidthe further transmission of infection." @default.
