Özet

Aim: Children with cancer receiving intensive chemotherapy require multiple transfusions and are at increased risk for blood transmittable diseases such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HBC), and HIV infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of HBV, HCV, and HIV in children with cancer and to compare the results with findings in our previous cancer studies conducted before the national free HBV vaccination and the HCV screening program in blood banks were established.
