Summary of Results. Figure one summarizes the laboratory tests done and the results seen in form of a flow chart. There were 507 subjects and their plasma specimens were screened for HBsAg using ELISA and five were positive. The remaining 502 were then screened for anti-HBc also using ELISA and 354 were found to be positive. The 354 anti-HBc samples were then screened for HBV DNA using real time PCR. HBV DNA was found in 19. (HBV – Hepatitis B virus, HBsAg –Hepatitis B surface Antigen Anti-HBc – antibody to hepatitis B core antigen, ELISA – Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, PCR – Polymerase chain reaction)
