Abstract

The frequency of HAV, HBV, HCV and HDV infections were evaluated in children with thalassemia and haematologic by ELİSA. A total of 136 serum specimens were tested for this purpose. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positivity was found in 46 % of patients with leukemia, 50 % of patients with lymphoma and 16.6 % of thalassemic children. Anti HCV was present in 8 % of leukeınia group and 16.6 % in thalassemic group. in our opinion, vira! hepatitis infections that have a great prevalence in multitransfused patient groups can be reduced by screening of blood donors for markers of viral hepatitis before transfusion.
