This virus can lead to acute and chronic diseases in the liver. This study aimed to detect the hepatitis delta virus in blood donors with positive <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68006514">Hepatitis B Surface Antigens</a> (HBsAg).</p> <p><strong>Material and Methods</strong>: In this Study, 350 serum samples were obtained from the people infected with hepatitis B blood in Transfusion organization of Shahrekord city, Iran. After extracting RNA by RNA Plus kit and making cDNA, the samples were evaluated by using RT PCR.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Of 350, two samples (0.57%) were infected by HDV.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Low prevalence of HDV infection shows that Hepatitis B is being controlled in Shahrekord.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Hepatitis Delta Virus, Blood Donors, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68006514">Hepatitis B Surface Antigens</a></p> </div> <p dir="rtl"></p><p></p><p dir="rtl"></p> Hepatitis Delta Virus, Blood Donors, Hepatitis B Surface Antigens 26 31 http://mlj.goums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-340&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Malekpour, B. بهنام ملک پور 100319475328460012904 100319475328460012904 No دانشگاه آزاد شهر کرد Tajbakhsh, E الهه تاج بخش ee_tajbakhsh@yahoo.com 100319475328460012905 100319475328460012905 Yes دانشگاه آزاد شهر کرد Khamesipour, F فهام خامسی پور 100319475328460012906 100319475328460012906 No دانشگاه آزاد شهر کرد Rahimi, A علی رحیمی 100319475328460012907 100319475328460012907 No دانشگاه آزاد شهر کرد
