Description

Zhengang Shan and a team of co-authors counted hidden hepatitis B marks in Guangzhou blood donors. Their study, from twenty twenty-six, deals with blood safety in China. Donated blood there is screened for a surface mark and for virus DNA. If a third test, for core antibodies, should be added for all donors is hotly debated. It could catch hidden infections but would cost donors and cash.

They took more than twenty-five thousand donors who passed both set tests. All were screened for the core mark, and a subset of hits was rechecked. Rates of both core and surface marks were read. Readers who run blood banks get city level facts to weigh a wider screen.
