ABSTRACT
Acute hepatitis is common In Nigeria and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been a major aetiologicaI factor. However, the role of Hepa titis C Virus (HCV) infection b yet undetermined. Forty-five consecutive Nigerian patient with Acute Icteric hepatitis (AH) attending the Medical Clinic of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria and 45 healthy adult Nigerians (controls) were studied for evidence of infection with both virus. Questionnaire on risk procedures which predispose to acquisition of both HBV and HCV infections were administered to the patients. Blood samples were collected from all the subjects and tested for antibody to HCV (Anti-HCV) and Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBSAg) using the second generation Enzyme Linked Immunoassay (Monolisa -R, Sansafi, Pasttur; France).
