812 serum samples from 382 males and 430 females from various age groups were examined. All the samples were tested for anti-HCV hepatitis C virus, anti-HBc and HBsAg with an enzymeimmunoassay. The total serum prevalence was 2.9% for anti-HVC, 22.2% for anti-HBc and 4.60/0 for HBsAg. The seropositiv

In order to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers, 400 patients were studied: 134 residents of an institution (RI) for the mentally retarded and 266 under non-residential care (NRC). In the residential institutions, all markers were absent in 69 (65.7%) of 105 patients with Dow
## Abstract The prevalence of antiβHCV was studied in a cohort of 2,072 South Africans. The results were compared in selected recently collected sera and in stored sera. The serum ALT and antiβHBc were also studied as surrogate markers in this population. The following groups were tested: (a) 948 u
