Seroprevalence of Hepatitis B Virus in Multitransfused Patients with Special Reference to Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection

In recent years, there has been increased public concern about the safety of blood transfusion with respect to transfusiontransmitted infections. Though regular blood transfusion improves the overall survival of patients and in spite of routine screening of blood or blood products it carries a definite risk of infection with blood-borne virus (1) such as hepatitis B virus. (2) Blood units are screened with assays of steadily increasing sensitivity due to availability of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) since 1971(3).
