ORTEGA CHAVARRIA, María José; AHUMADA ZAVALA, Silvia Nayeli; DIAZ GREENE, Enrique e RODRIGUEZ WEBER, Federico. Prevalence of hepatitis B and C in private hospital blood donors. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.3, pp.246-250. Epub 31-Maio-2022. ISSN 1870-7203. https://doi.org/10.35366/95400.
Infections caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), are global health issues and a serious risk associated to transfusional medicine; especially being one of the most important causes of liver damage in Mexico.
Objective:
To determine the prevalence of HBV and HCV in blood donors in Hospital Angeles Pedregal in a time lapse of 19 months.
Material and methods:
Retrospective and descriptive study carried out between the 1st of January 2018 and the 31st of July 2019, which included 5,705 donors.
Results:
Of 4,030 selected cases, 30.72% were female and 69.28% were male. We identified 22 altruistic donors and 4,008 for replacement of blood products. Global seroprevalence observed in our population was 0.27% for HCV and 0.04% for HBV. HVC infection was more frequent in females between 45 to 65 years, with three cases.
Conclusions:
A low prevalence of HBV and HVC infection was found, being 0.27% and 0.04%, respectively, HCV prevalence was found to be 5.5 times greater than HBV. These findings are probably explained because blood donors generally are healthy.
