RESUMO
The present survey was performed to assess the hepatitis C virus seroprevalence in volunteer blood donors of the National Medical Center, Hospital de Especialidades, Mexico City. Serum samples from 1100 individuals were collected. We selected second generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Abbott HCV EIA) test for the screening. The antibodies against hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) in the volunteer blood donors were positive in 0.7%. The second generation ELISA test is useful as a screening test and may lead to decreasing the incidence of posttransfusional hepatitis C virus infection.
