dc.description.abstractA total of 6418 samples were received between January 1993 to December 1998 from patients with hepatitis. Blood samples were also collected from 946 apparently healthy subjects. All these samples were tested for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by third generation micro ELISA. The overall HBsAg prevalence rate was 12.8%. The highest prevalence was noted in renal transplant patients (21.7%) followed by patients with acute hepatic disease (15.3%), pregnancy with jaundice (9.4%), chronic renal failure (8.8%), nephrotic syndrome (3.1%), whereas the prevalence rate in control group was 2.4%. The prevalence rate of HBsAg was higher in subjects between 21 to 30 years of age with a male preponderance (Male:Female = 2.8:1).en_US
