ABSTRACT
"A total of 30 blood samples from children randomly selected from the ones attended for elective surgery at Muhimbili Medical Centre were analysed for markers of hepatitis ""B"" virus infection. Of these; HBSAg was demonstrated in 6 (20 percent) samples. One sample was positive for anti HBC; and 5 (16.7 percent) positive for anti-GBS; none was positive for HBeAg. This observation indicate that HBV infection in children is common in this environment. Extra care in handling blood and mucas of patients meant for surgery is highly emphasised."
