Sero-Prevalence of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Viruses among Tuberculosis Patients in Kassala, Eastern Sudan
Background: Hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV)virus infection is a
major concern among tuberculous (TB) patients, thus early screening of
these viruses will influence the outcome of the disease.
Methods: A cross-sectional hospital based study, conducted at Kassala teaching hospital, Eastern Sudan, between June and December 2014 to investigate the sero-prevalence of HBV and HCV among TB patients. Sera samples were collected from patients and tested for HBSAg and anti-HCV bodies using immunochromtogrophic test (ICT) and enzyme-link immunosorbantassay (ELISA).
