Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To assess the prevalence of hepatitis C in 200 patients with paediatric malignancies, surviving in remission more than 5 years from diagnosis, who had received blood product transfusions before 1990 when routine screening of blood products for hepatitis C began. METHOD:The second and third generation Abbott Diagnostics ELISA was used to assess hepatitis C seropositivity. Seropositive patients and those with abnormal liver transaminases were assessed by hepatitis C virus RNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS:A low incidence (4%) of seropositivity for hepatitis C was found in survivors of paediatric malignancy who were transfused prior to routine screening of blood products in this cohort. CONCLUSIONS:All patients identified have evidence of hepatitis and may be at high risk of developing cirrhosis.
