Abstract

 Background: The prevalence of blood borne viral infection is escalating worldwide. Screening blood donors is needed to prevent further spread of such infections.Objectives: The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of HEPATITIS B VIRUS (HBV) and hepatitis virus (HCV) among blood donors in DUHOK, Northern IRAQ.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on blood donors attending DUHOK blood bank. A total of 7900 subjects were included in the study from January to December 2014. Subjects were tested for evidence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and HCV antibody (HCV-Ab). A questionnaire was used to collect demographic and personal data of each positive subject. All HCV positive samples were assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to confirm the results.Results: Among the studied sample, the prevalence of HBs Ag and HCV-Ab were 62.7900 (0.78%) and 16.7900 (0.2%), respectively. The results of RT-PCR for quantitation of HCV showed that only 1.7900 (0.013%) patients was HCV-positive. No significant difference was observed in the positivity of HBV and HCV between donors living in the city and rural areas (P>0.05). In addition, history of dental procedure was given in 77% and 75% of HBV- and HCV-positive donors, respectively.Conclusions: The prevalence of HBV infection among donors in DUHOK was comparable with those of reports from other parts of IRAQ. Education and immunization should be initiated to target the high-risk groups. Furthermore, a community-based study is recommended to study the prevalence of HBV and HCV infection in the population.
