1. The mean hemoglobin and hematocrit value of the professional donors were 12. 8 gm/100m1 (10.813.8 gm/100ml) and 38.2% (32.6-41%) while that of volunteers were 13.9 gm/l00ml (12.4-16.3 gm/100ml) and 41.3% (36-48%).
2. Australia antigen was detected from 25 out of 300 professional donors (8.33%), and 16 out of 500 volunteers (3. 2%).
