ABSTRACT
Exposure to hepatitis C virus [HCV] and its effect on ALT levels was studied in 35 transfusion dependent cases of thalassaemia major. Twenty-one [60%] cases were anti HCV positive and also showed raised Alanine Transaminase [ALT] levels. Of 14 anti HCV negative, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen [HBs Ag] negative seven showed raised ALT levels, indicating the chances of acute viraemia. Thus there is an urgent need to start anti HCV screening on all blood donations
