Description

INTRODUCTION Children suffering from thalassaemia major survive mainly on regular blood transfusions, which may expose them to different transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs), especially hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, and Treponema pallidum (1). This is particularly true for developing countries like Bangladesh where standard pre-transfusion screening of blood and blood products are often lacking. Various studies among multi-transfused thalassaemic children in different countries demonstrated a wide range of prevalence of TTIs. The prevalence of HBV infection ranges from 0.53% to 45.0% (2-6) and of HCV from 14.0% to 40.5% (3-8) in thalassaemic children.
