Abstract
Prevalence of HBsAg was studied by Elisa test in 166 hospital employees, 170 patients at random and 1042 voluntary blood donors. Prevalence of HBsAg among doctors was 3.33% in nurses and lab-technicians 0%, in nursing students 1.53% and in ward-boys 15%. Less incidence in staff members other than ward boys is because of HBsAg vaccination. Prevalence of the HBsAg in random patients was 7.65% and in voluntary blood donors was 2.11%.
