Hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus in Thai blood donors.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are major causes of transfusion-transmitted infection (TTI). In Thailand, the prevalence of HBV infection in new blood donors has decreased gradually from 7.1% in 1988 to 2.6% in 2009. This drastic decline in HBV prevalence is mostly the result of an effective expanded program on immunization (EPI) against HBV; the current coverage rate with H...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus infection and genotypes in blood donors
Abstract: Genotyping of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important for designing therapeutic strategies and regional specific diagnostic assays. The aim of this study was to identify the HCV genotypes in HCV infected blood donors. This is the first report on HCV genotypes in blood donors in Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 103 blood donors with hepatitis C were investigated for HCV genotype...
متن کاملGenotype distribution and molecular epidemiology of hepatitis C virus in blood donors from southeast France.
The genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in blood donors from southeast France was tracked for a period of 13 years (1991 to 2003). Virus genomes from 321 samples were analyzed by amplification and sequencing of the NS5b and E1 regions. The most frequent genotypes were 1b (30.2%), 1a (27.7%), and 3a (22.4%). Although it was less common, genotype 2 was characterized by the presence o...
متن کاملMolecular detection of hepatitis delta virus in blood donors with RT-PCR
Abstract Background and Objective: Hepatitis delta virus is an imperfect virus with RNA and its activity depends on the presence of hepatitis B virus. This virus can lead to acute and chronic diseases in the liver. This study aimed to detect the hepatitis delta virus in blood donors with positive Hepatitis B Surface Antigens (HBsAg). Material and Methods: In this Study, 350 serum sa...
متن کاملMolecular characterization, distribution, and dynamics of hepatitis C virus genotypes in blood donors in Colombia.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a frequent cause of acute and chronic hepatitis and a leading cause for cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV is classified in six major genotypes and more than 70 subtypes. In Colombian blood banks, serum samples were tested for anti-HCV antibodies using a third-generation ELISA. The aim of this study was to characterize the viral sequences in plas...
