The statistical studies of serum hepatitis have been demonstrated at Myojo National Sanatorium since April, 1962 to April, 1966.
The diagnosis of serum hepatitis after blood transfusion was made by increased serum transaminase activity.
The total recipient number is 173 and the incidence of serum hepatitis is 82. 58 cases were observed from April, 1962 till June, 1964, and 24 cases were found from September, 1964 to April, 1966.
We found that difference in incidence of post-transfusion hepatitis was depended on the source of blood donors.
The incidence of post-transfusion hepatitis is 48.3-50% in cases using the blood provided from Midori-juji (blood bank of commercial base), while the incidence of that is 20% in cases using the blood provided by family. When the gamma globulin 20 ml, were given after the operation, the incidence of post-transfusion hepatitis were 42.9%. Therefore the routine administration of gamma globulin 20 ml after blood transfusion is doubtful for prevention of serum hepatitis.
