Abstract

    The objective of our study was to assess the incidence of hepatitis B in volunteer donors at Regional Blood Center (RBC) Peshawar. The current study was prospective study carried out at the Regional Blood Center (RBC) Peshawar from 20/10/2022 31/12/2022. A complete clinical examination was carried out for all the volunteers. Under aseptic condition, 5ml blood sample was collected from all the enrolled individuals. The plasma was separated and was screened for HBsAg. Data analysis was done by using IBM SPSS. 23 version. In the current study, a total of 463 volunteer blood donors were included. The male volunteers were 460 (99.35%) whereas female volunteers were 3 (0.65%). The mean age (SD) in our study was 27.66 (4.63) years with maximum age of 55 years and minimum age of 18 years. The overall incidence of hepatitis B was 12 (2.59%). Our study concludes that hepatitis B is highly prevalent amongst volunteer blood donors.
