Abstract

Abstract. Prevalence of HB_sAg was studied by counterelectrophoresis (CEP) in 65,795 consecutive volunteer blood donors in Israel. The overall prevalence of HB_sAg was 1.22%. HB_sAg was more prevalent in the young donors, more prevalent in male donors and varied according to the country of origin of the donors. The prevalence of HB_sAg was 0.63% among donors born in Europe or the Americas and 2.83% for those born in Asia or Africa. The HB_sAg prevalence among native Israelis followed the same pattern with higher prevalence rates among those born in Israel whose families came from Asia or Africa than those from Europe or America. The prevalence of Anti‐HB_s by CEP was studied in 39,519 donors. The prevalence of antibody was higher in females and was higher in the same ethnic groups in whom there was a relatively high HB_sAg prevalence.
