Abstract
Using records, we screened 2500 blood donors for blood groups, hepatitis-B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-HIV, and VDRL. The results were analysed to assess the prevalence and the possible relation to sex and blood groups. Our present study was done at Regional Blood Center in Malatya province. The distribution of blood groups was compared with other studies. Our findings suggested that the prevalence of HBsAg was 5.16% in the donor population. VDRL and anti-HIV positivity were not found. HBsAg positivity rate among various blood groups was found to be not statistically significant (p>0.05). HBsAg positivity rate between males and females was found to be not statistically significant (p> 0.05). [Journal of Turgut Ozal Medical Center 1997;4(2):139-142]
