@uzairtariq thats old q however worth knowing it. bz people still around from time.
Hepatitis B & C can both be transmitted by blood transfusions. In the present time, due to thorough screening of the donor blood, blood transfusions are no longer an important risk factor for contracting hepatitis B or C. However, the screening of blood for "anti HBcAg" was introduced in 1986 and more sensitive enzymatic immune assays for hepatitis C were introduced in 1992, therefore all the patients who received blood transfusions before these dates should be screened for hepatitis B and/or C accordingly. |
