RESUMEN
Objective To study the infection status of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in blood donors .Methods anti‐HCV was detec‐ted by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) .HCV RNA was detected by using fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction .Results The positive rate of anti‐HCV in blood donors was 0 .07% (109/163 782) .Among 109 positive donors ,80 donors were anti‐HCV positive while only one reagent was used ,and 29 donors were anti‐HCV positive when two reagents were used .80 cases were anti‐HCV positive in first donors and 29 cases were anti‐HCV positive in repeated donors .Among the 80 donors who were anti‐HCV positive while only one reagent was used ,72 samples according with the demand of nucleic acid test were tested by the nucleic acid test ,of whom HCV RNA was negative .Conclusion The positive rate of anti‐HCV in Yancheng donors could be lower than general population .There might be no change of positive rate of anti‐HCV in blood donors during the three years .The positive individuals could be negative in nucleic acid test while only one reagent was used in ELISA test .
