On the frequency of detection of serological markers of infection with hepatitis b and c viruses among blood donors living in UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

Transfusion of donor blood worldwide on average 0.01-2% of donors are carriers of hepatitis viruses. Therefore, at present, donor blood is examined for the presence of hepatitis viruses before transfusion to the recipient. The risk of infection is increased in individuals requiring repeated blood transfusions or blood products [3,4].
