Evaluation of Blood Units with Isolated Anti HBC for the Presence of HBV DNA

Evaluation of Blood Units with Isolated Anti HBC for the Presence of HBV DNA

We screened blood donors in one center in Saudi Arabia for a safety transfusion. We found that among 5043 blood donors negative for HCV and HIV, the incidence of HBsAg positivity was 2.97%. When antiHBc antibody was measured (HBcIg) in HBsAg negative donors, we observed that 21.47% were positive ind...
