Abstract

Objective: This study aims to find the frequency and association of hepatitis C with different ABO blood groups.
Methodology: This retrospective study of six months duration was conducted at Aziz Fatimah Hospital Faisalabad after approval from the ethical committee. Blood bank data was retrieved and blood reports for all the blood borne diseases were analyzed. Only reports with HCV positive along with their respective blood groups were analyzed by SPSS 22. Frequency and percentages of hepatitis C was estimated. Association of HCV with blood group was determined using chi-square test. p value ?0.05 was taken as significant.
Results: Data from 1000 reports of screened blood showed 52 (5.2%) reports seropositive positive for HCV. Among these, 15 (28.8%) reports of blood group A showed HCV seropositivity. However, 18 (34.6%) respondents with blood group B were HCV seropositive. HCV cases in blood group AB were 7 (13.5%). There were 12 (23.1%) HCV positive subjects with blood group O.
Conclusion: HCV is not significantly associated with blood group.
