Abstract:
This study was conducted to detect the infection percentage of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in the samples of thalassemic patients in AL - Najaf Governorate.About 130 suspected cases attending AL - Zahra'a hospital for children and delivery in Al - Najaf city during period from 1st of November (2014) to 28thof April (2015).Only 69 samples were carried out in this study .The practical side for this study followes three main paths : 1 - The Molecular identification of the presence of Ribonuclic acid of Hepatitis C virus in Thalassemic patients by using RT - PCR.2 - Using the Enzyme Linkedimmunosorbant assay (ELISA - III)technique to determinate immunological markers anti - HCV IgG and interleukine - 28B (IL - 28B).3 - Using theCYANHemato devicefor the purpose of counting blood cells which is called Coulter - Method to give a Complete blood count(CBC).The overall results obtained in this study were as follows : - Out of 69 samples,25(36%) samples of thalassemic patients were infected with Hepatitis C virus, 16 male and 9 female ,their age range from (4 - 43) years ,while 44(64%) samplesof thalassemic patients were withoutHepatitis C virus infection , 22 male and 22 female, their age range from (3 - 35) years . - The result showed that 25samples seropositive to anti - HCV IgG in all age groups where the age group (10 - 20) years old has thehighest percentage among other age groups. - The result of the examination of HCV - RNA Eleven of (25) HCV seropositive patients were positive to RT - PCR technique. - The result of this study showed that level of Interleukin - 28Bin thalassemic patients with HCV was high (mean or significant) (12733.33) pg/ml as compared with thalassemic patients without HCV (270.0463) pg/ml and control(12.1267)pg/ml. - The result also has revealed that the hematological parameters of white blood cells (WBCs),monocytespercentage (MON) and lymphocytes percentage (LYM) significantly have increased (P<0.05) in Hepatitis C patients compared to those of control group. - Granulocytes(GRA) showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in percentage in Hepatitis C patients compared to those of control groups.
