    In a comparative study 5,569 sera from voluntary donors were tested simultaneously for hepatitis B antigen by three reverse passive haemagglutination (RPHA) techniques (Auscell, Hepanosticon, Hepatest) and the radioimmunoassay (RIA) (Ausria II). Among the three RPHA methods, no significnat differences could be found as far as sensitivity is concerned. The percentage of positive sera detected by these RPHA methods varies from 0.43 to 0.56%. Eleven sera were detactable only by Ausria II. Except for two, all these sera had low counts per minute in the RIA.

    Hepatitis

    Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver. The...
