The clinical significance of anti HCV antibodies in healthy blood donors remains uncertain. These donors are usually asymptomatic and it is difficult to elicit risk factors of acquiring HCV infection during pre-donation questioning. Limited information on donor recall and follow up studies on anti HCV positive blood donors have been reported from India. Paucity of data which is likely to have an impact on safe blood transfusion programme has prompted us to undertake this study to assess the significance of HCV seropositivity in blood donors with respect to their clinical, biochemical and virological profile.
