Abstract
Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV infection are serious global health problem. Many risk behaviors as well as the routes of transmission for HBV and HCV infections are identical to those for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Hepatitis C is ubiquitous disease. It affects around 200 million people worldwide. The HIV/AIDS epidemics are one of the largest Public Health Problem of 21st century. A total 250 samples were tested from antenatal cases for HBsAg, HCV and HIV. Out of total samples, 42 (16.8%) were reactive. In which 31 (12.4%) were reactive for HCV, 9 (3.6%) were reactive for HBsAg. & 2 (0.8%) were reactive for HIV. 1 sample was reactive for HIV- HCV coinfection in the ANC group and none of the sample was reactive for HIV-HBV & HBV-HCV coinfection. To study the incidence of viral markers i.e. Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV in ANC cases. Rapid card test were used for detection of HIV, HBV and HCV. All the rapid card tests for viral marker are based on Immunochromatographic method.250 blood samples were taken in our study. The study was conducted in serology section of microbiology department at Teerthanker Mahaveer Hospital & Research canter Moradabad (U.P.). A total 250 samples were tested from Antenatal cases for HBsAg, HCV and HIV. Out of total samples, 42 (16.8%) were reactive. In which 31 (12.4%) were reactive for HCV, 9 (3.6%) were reactive for HBsAg. & 2 (0.8%) were reactive for HIV. 1 sample was reactive for HIV- HCV coinfection in the ANC group and none of the sample was reactive for HIV-HBV & HBV-HCV coinfection. Prevalence of HI, HBsAg and HCV among ANC cases represents their prevalence among normal population. Such studies are needed to know the prevalence of such diseases in our society which can help us to form the guidelines for patient management.
