“…Present study showed that anti-HCV seroprevalence in the area was lower (0.2%). it was closer to that studies were conducted by Meena [11] found prevalence more than 1% of HCV among blood donors. Several studies on voluntary and mixed (voluntary +replacement) blood donors shows a prevalence of hepatitis below 2% in India.…”

“…Several studies on voluntary and mixed (voluntary +replacement) blood donors shows a prevalence of hepatitis below 2% in India. The reported variation in the prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies among blood donors in different regions of the world may be attributed to the differences in the donation type, literacy rate and level of awareness among the blood donors [11]. In the United States seroprevalence in HCV of blood donors was estimated to be 0.3 percent [23].…”

Rajasthan. The blood collections were taken from the voluntary donors at total 69 blood donation camp and as well as from replacement donors and voluntary donors at blood bank. The blood samples were then obtained by standard procedures of venepuncture. Total 16495 blood donors screened over the period of one year. Antibodies to Hepatitis C virus in serum/plasma is detected by rapid test kit. Results: 34 out of 16495 donor population were positive for Hepatitis C (Prevalence 0.2%). Conclusion: Replacement donors were higher prevalence than the voluntary donors. So, the present study concludes that motivating voluntary blood donors by conducting voluntary blood donation camp is the most effective way of ensuring adequate supplies of safe blood and blood components for transfusion.

“…In the annual reports of Department of AIDS Control, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, in the data collected from NACO supported blood banks all over India, during the year 2010-11, the percentage of Voluntary blood donation was 79.4% against the target of 80% which steadily increased to 77% in 2016-2017. [15,16] In our study prevalence of HCV was 0.11% while other studies like Giri et al [17] 0.74%, Pandit et al [18] 0.21%, Meena et al [19] 0.57%, Gupta et al [4] 1.45% and Narayankar et al [20] 1.49% noted higher prevalence. The prevalence of HCV infection in healthy blood donors was reported to be 1.09% in Punjab, 1.57% in Delhi, 0.75% in Madurai.…”

Background: Viral hepatitis is a global health problem with 170 million Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) carriers worldwide, and 12-13 million HCV carriers in India. Unscreened blood and components play a significant role in transmission of HCV apart from reuse of injection needles, unsterilized surgical equipments and vertical transmission from mother to child. Unsafe blood transfusion not only poses risk to patients, causing significant morbidity and mortality, but also adds to the economical burden on healthcare system. Aims and Objectives: Aim of this study is to estimate the seroprevalence of HCV infection among the voluntary and relative donors over a period of 7 years at blood banks of Madhya Pradesh with collaboration of Madhya Pradesh State AIDS control Society (MPSACS) Bhopal, India from 2011 to 2017. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of blood donation at blood banks, of Madhya Pradesh, India. Blood units were screened for TTIs from January 2011 To December 2017. HIV, HCV and HBV tests were done by ELISA. Data of HCV was collected and compared statistically by frequency distribution and percentage proportion. Chi Square (χ 2) test was used to determine the significant difference statistically. Results: The mean age of donors was 32.4 2 ± 8.63 years. Major contribution was from male donors (93.8%). Majority of donation was done voluntarily (87.3 %). Out of the total 1,876,219 donors tested for TTIs over 7 years, 1980 (0.11%) were positive to anti HCV (p=.000001). Conclusion: The prevalence of HCV infection was 0.11% among blood donors of Madhya Pradesh, with geographic variation among districts. Aiming to provide safe blood to the patients, prevention of transmission of HCV by proper donor counseling and screening of the unit is required.

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most common cause of post transfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis worldwide. The prevalence of HCV in blood donors in high-income countries ranges from 0.002% to 0.05%, in middle-income countries ranges from 0.03% to 0.80%, and in low-income countries, prevalence varies from 0.50% to 2.23%. Objectives: The objectives of this study are to assess the seroprevalence and the trend of HCV in healthy voluntary blood donors at a tertiary care hospital in Ahmedabad over a period of 3 years. Settings and Design: Observational, retrospective study. Materials and Methods: During January 2017 to December 2019, 9477 voluntary blood donors were tested for the presence of anti-HCV antibody by using a 3rd-generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were statistically analyzed by using the Chi-square test, and Chi-Square test for linear trends using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software trial version 19. Results: Out of 9477 voluntary blood donors, 9229 (97.38%) donors were male and 248 (2.62%) were female. Ten donors (0.11%) were positive for anti-HCV. All seropositive donors were male. Out of total 0.11% seropositive donors, maximum (0.07%) were within the age group of 21–30 years. Seroprevalence of HCV showed a statistically significant decreasing trend over 3 years. Conclusion: Hepatitis C is a common cause of transfusion-related hepatitis. Early identification of persons with chronic HCV infection would enable infected persons to receive the necessary care and treatment to prevent or delay the onset of liver disease.
