title: [Frequency of hepatitis B and hepatitis C markers and HIV markers detection in blood donors from the Swietokrzyskie region].
abstract: The study analysed the occur frequency of viral hepatitis type B and type C markers and HIV markers detected in blood donors from the region Swietokrzyskie in the years 2005-2009. In analysed period 78587 blood donors were screened for viral markers: 36360 first time donors and 42227 repeat donors. All reactive results were confirmed by another test. HBV markers was detected in 0.336% of the first time donors and 0.005% of the repeat donors (2 cases of occult HBV infection - OBI). HCV markers was detected in 0.597% of the first time donors and 0.024% of the repeat donors. HIV markers was detected in 0.003% of the first time donors and 0.012% of the repeat donors. It was found that the frequency was lower than the national average.
