Keywords:
Prevalence, HBV markers, blood donors, HepatitisAbstract
OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to find out the prevalence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and the ratio among the Hepatitis B Virus markers, including Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B surface Antibody (HBsAb), Hepatitis B envelop Antigen (HBeAg), Hepatitis B envelop Antibody and Hepatitis B core Antibody.
METHODOLOGY
A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to July 2022. Three hundred sixty blood donors were selected at Medical Teaching Institute Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Pakistan. The information about donors was received through a predesigned questionnaire.
RESULTS
The prevalence of HBV marker HBsAg was 2.8%, with the highest reactivity followed by HBcAb at 2.2% and HBeAb at 1.1%. Among HBV markers, no reactivity founded in HBsAb and HBeAg.
CONCLUSION
The highest positivity reactivity rate was found in HBsAg among HBV markers, while the second and third prevalent markers were HBcAb and HBeAb among blood donors.
