چکیده    Hepatitis b virus (hbv) is one of the public-health issues worldwide. approximately two billion people are infected with hbv,and about 350 million people are chronic carriers globally. about 3% of the world population is infected with hepatitis c virus (hcv). oncology patients receiving packed red blood cell suspensions and other blood products usually are in the high-risk group for infections due to these viruses. the aim of the study was to detect the seroprevalence of hepatitis b and hepatitis c among chemotherapy patients at the oncology department of the tepecik education and research hospital. hbsag,anti-hbs,anti-hbcigm,anti-hbc total and anti-hcv assays were studied by enzyme immunoassay method (diasorin,italy) in serum samples of patients (n=448) referred to the department of oncology of the tepecik education and research hospital during 1 june 2006-1 january 2007. of the 448 patients,19 (4.2%) were hbsag-positive,and three (0.7%) had anti-hcv positivity. in this study,the seroprevalence of hbv was similar to previous data in turkey. this could be due to widespread vaccination programmes. the seroprevalence of low anti-hcv may be because of controlled blood transfusion. oncology patients should be monitored for their protective antibody levels against hbv,and they must be included in the vaccination programme. their anti-hcv status should also be checked as well. © international centre for diarrhoeal disease research,bangladesh.
