this study was conducted to find out the prevalence, viral load and co-infection of hbv and hcv infection among patients seeking to hospital care in mashhad, iran. a total of 402 samples (349 samples for hbv and 53 for hcv) were received and were screened for hepatitis b and c during 2004 to 2014. viral loads of hbv dna and hcv rna were quantified by real-time pcr. among 349 collected samples, 229 (65.61%) were positive for hbv dna and 36 (67.92%) for hcv rna. among the ones positive for hbv dna and hcv rna, hcv was more prevalent (86.11% vs 58%) ,in male patients, a higher incidence was attributed to hbv than hcv (34.42 vs 13.88%%). the incidence of co-infection of hbv and hcv was in 5 (1.88%) patients. association of age and load of hbv, hcv showed that higher marginal viral loads found to be more common in the age groups of upper 30 years old (p=0.064, p=0.079, respectively). the present study provides the preliminary information about high hcv and hbv prevalence. findings from the current study will be helpful for the better management and control of viral hepatitis among patients looking for hospital care.
