			<p>Many viruses can produce infectious damage to the Liver. EBV and CMV
occasionally cause symptomatic hepatitis, as part of the mononucleosis syndrome.
The primary hepatitis viruses are diverse group. The alphebit
soup of hepatitis
is summarised below. Several other viruses have been described as possible agents
of hepatitis e.g. G.Virus (or G B variant of Hepatitis C virus, a member of the
family Flaviviridae, as well as TT virus and SEN virus, both are the members of
the family Circoviridae). Here prevalence of HCV and CHC (Chronic Hepatitis C)
are increasing due to aging of the infected population and progression of liver
fibrosis. History of repeated blood transfusions in a case of abortions in females,
major trauma, alcoholism, biliary stenosis, parasitic infections and secondary liver
infections, jaundice and needle stick injuries are chosen for study. Recent reports
show that extra hepatic immunologic manifestation, such as cryoglobulinemia and
rheumatoid factors are a prominent part of Hepatitis C infections and they are for
Hepatitis B also. Seventy five patients are screened for various diseases. All serum
samples collected and stored at -20°C freezer. ELISA was conducted with positive
and negative controls. All the serum samples collected from date 1st October 2015
to 30th October 2015 at Sivagiri Sree Narayana Medical Mission Hospital, Varkala,
Trivandrum after obtaining permission from the authorities. Out of 75 patient s
sample, 24 males and 51 females and most of them are middle age females groups
having HCV infection. </p>
