The Prevalence of hepatitis B [HBV] and hepatitis C [HCV] virus infections among Schistosoma mansoni patients was studied, Serum samples from 33 Schistosoma mansoni diseased patients were tested for antigen of HBV and antibody to HCV [anti-HCV] using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]. Hepatitis B surface antigen was detcted in the serum of 8 patients [24.2%], compared with [5.2%] in the sera of control group of non infected individuals [2 out of 38], while hepatitis C antibodies were detected in the serum of 6 patients [18.2%] compared with [7.8%] in the sera of the control group [3 out of 38 non schistosomal individuals].
