Abstract
Hepatitis B is one of the transfusion transmissible infections. The prevalence of this infection varies across the different geographies. The aim of this study was to determine the trend of seroprevalence of hepatitis B in Jammu. The study was conducted at the blood bank of a tertiary care hospital serving predominantly the people of Jammu region. A prospective analysis of blood donors over a period of one year was done to assess the seroprevalence and the trend of hepatitis B infection. Bioelisa HBsAg rd colour, which is a 3 generation ELISA kit was used to detect the hepatitis B surface antigen in the donors as a marker of infection. A total of 2352 blood donors were studied. 12 (0.51%) were positive, which comes under the “low prevalence (< 2%) zone” per World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Male blood donors and donors from low socioeconomic groups showed higher seropositivity compared to female donors and higher socioeconomic groups.
