Abstract

Background: HCV is the main cause of transfusion-dependent hepatitis. Thalassemic children who received transfusion are highly susceptible to HCV infection. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the prevalence of HCV in thalassemic children.Materials and methods: 113 thalassemic children had entered this cross sectional study. Anti HCV (anti HEPATITIS C virus) and ALT(alanine aminotransferase) tests were carried out, while, RIBA(recombinant immunoblot assay) was performed on those positive cases for Anti HCV.Results: HCV infection was found in 23% of the cases. M/F ratio was 1.3. Chi square and Fishers exact test have shown significant relationship between HCV infection and age, number of received blood units, and the level of ALT (p<0.01).Conclusion: The spectrum of HCV infection obtained in our study was coincided with that reported in reference text books. Further studies regarding the prevention and treatment are highly recommended.
