✦ Synopsis

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 seropositivity rates of anti-HCV and anti-HBc tended to increase with age, while for HBsAg a more regular pattern was observed for the different subject groups. The fact that anti-HCV are more frequently found together with HBV markers confirms the existence of similar modes of transmission of the two viruses.

## Abstract The prevalence of anti‐HCV 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 anti‐HBc were also studied as surrogate markers in this population. The following groups were tested: (a) 948 u
