SummaryTo determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis C virus in the Philippines and compare it with the seroprevalence of hepatitis B virus infection, HBV and HCV markers in 594 serum samples collected from 392 blood donors, 123 medical and paramedical personnel, and 80 patients (45 liver diseases: 25 acute hepatitis, 9 liver cirrhosis, and 11 hepatocellular carcinoma; 28 hepatitis B carriers, and 7 chronic renal failure patients undergoing dialysis) in Davao, Mindanao Island, Philippines, were examined. HBsAg was determined by RPHA, anti-HBc by HI, anti-HBs by PHA, and HBsAg subtypes, HBeAg, and anti-HBe by EIA. HCV markers determined were anti-HCV (anti-C100-3) by ELISA (Ortho Diagnostic Systems), and anti-HCV core (anti-CP9 and/ or anti-CPIO) also by ELISA. Results showed that 9 (2.2%) blood donors were anti HCV positive; 69 (15.4%) were anti-HCV core positive Nine (2.2%) were HBsAg carriers; 240 (61.3%) were anti-HBs and/or anti-HBc positive (HBsAg carriers excluded from this group). Two of 123 medical and paramedical staff (1.6% ) were anti-HCV positive; 11 (8.1%) were anti-HCV core positive; Eight (6.5%) were HBsAg carriers and 81 (65.8%) anti-HBs and/or anti-HBc positive. Five of 11 (45.4%) hepatocellular carcinoma patients were HBsAg carriers; 2 were anti-HCV core positive. Two of 9 liver cirrhosis patients were antiHCV positive (1 to anti-HCV and the other to anti-HCV core). If anti-HCV positivity means carrier state, then the HCV carrier rate of blood donors in Davao, Philippines is the same as the HBV carrier rate and prospective blood donors should be screened not only for HBV but also for HCV to prevent transfusion-associated hepatitis. Less than 50% of liver cirrhosis and hepatoHCV carcinoma cases have HBV markers and HCV markers but, when present, these markers appear at almost the same frequency; the role of HCV and HBV in the pathogenesis of these 2 diseases in Mindanao should be further investigated.
