Prevention of the residual risk of transfusion transmitted hepatitis B virus infection (HBV) is mostly dependant on serological screening of blood donors for HBsAg and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc Ab). This study aimed to study the prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HBc Ab and to compare the profile of blood donors attending a blood donation camp and people attending a hospital based camp. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. In the blood donor camp, all the blood units were screened for HBV, (HBsAg and anti-HBc), and in the hospital based camp, screening was done for HBsAg alone. Baseline demographic characteristics were noted. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The number of blood bank donors was 363 (47.5%) and hospital camp attendees was 402 (52.5%). Prevalence of HBsAg positivity was similar in both the groups at 1.7% and 1.9%, respectively. Anti-HBc Ab positivity (Total) was 6% among the blood donors; Overall prevalence of HBV infection in this group was 3.2%. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Policy for checking the collected blood unit by 3 tests for anti-HBc, anti-HBsAb, and HBsAg should be reconsidered to possibly achieve the zero risk goal of transfusion transmitted HBV infection. Blood obtained from a vaccinated donor may give an added protection to the recipient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/675191","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,4]],"date-time":"2013-09-04T21:04:08Z","timestamp":1378328648000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["HBsAg Positive Patient Characteristics in Hospital and Blood Donation Camps"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4572-5884","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Deepti","family":"Sachan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Transfusion Medicine, Global Hospitals & Health City, Chennai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joy","family":"Varghese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatology & Liver Transplantation, Global Hospitals & Health City, Chennai 600 100, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jensingh","family":"Joseph","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Kamakshi Memorial Hospital, Chennai 600 100, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vijaya","family":"Srinivasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatology & Liver Transplantation, Global Hospitals & Health City, Chennai 600 100, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Venkataraman","family":"Jayanthi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatology & Liver Transplantation, Global Hospitals & Health City, Chennai 600 100, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Rela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatology & Liver Transplantation, Global Hospitals & Health City, Chennai 600 100, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"5","volume-title":"Prevalence of HBV in general population of India","year":"1996"},{"issue":"6","key":"2","first-page":"390","volume":"40","year":"1992","journal-title":"The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India"},{"issue":"1","key":"3","first-page":"13","volume":"51","year":"1974","journal-title":"Bulletin of the World Health Organization"},{"issue":"6","key":"4","first-page":"105","volume":"74","year":"1980","journal-title":"Journal of the Indian Medical Association"},{"issue":"4","key":"5","first-page":"621","volume":"58","year":"1980","journal-title":"Bulletin of the World Health Organization"},{"key":"6","first-page":"337","volume":"93","year":"1991","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Medical Research A"},{"issue":"5","key":"7","first-page":"670","volume":"121","year":"2005","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Medical Research"},{"issue":"4","key":"8","first-page":"132","volume":"22","year":"2003","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Gastroenterology"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2010.02801.x"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/2249-4863.94452"},{"issue":"5","key":"11","first-page":"376","volume":"3","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal of Infection in Developing Countries"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1743-422X-7-204"}],"container-title":["ISRN Hematology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2013\/675191.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2013\/675191.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2013\/675191.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,10]],"date-time":"2020-12-10T14:03:39Z","timestamp":1607609019000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/isrn\/2013\/675191\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,4]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["675191","675191"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/675191","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-4428"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-4428","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,4]]}}}
