The articles reviewed were conducted including years from 2010to 2017.Results: The prevalence rate of hepatitis B among blood donors in Ghana ranged from 7.23% to 14.60%,while the prevalence rate among blood donors in Nigeria ranged from 7.50% to 19.90%.Conclusion: Therefore, the prevalence rate of hepatitis B among blood donors in Nigeria is higher than theprevalence rate of hepatitis B among blood donors in Ghana though both countries are still consideredhepatitis B endemic countries.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Gana ve Nijerya'da bulunan kan bağışçıları arasındaki hepatit B prevalansının sistematik bir derleme ile karşılaştırılması amaçlamıştır. Materyal ve Metot: Gana ve Nijerya'da kan donörleri arasında hepatit B prevalansı üzerinde karşılaştırmalı sistematik bir derleme yapıldı. İncelenen makaleler 2010 ve 2017 yılları arasında yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Gana'daki kan donörleri arasında hepatit B'nin prevalansı %7,23 ile %14,60 arasındayken, Nijerya'daki kan donörleri arasında yaygınlık oranı %7,50 ile %19,90 arasındadır. Sonuç: Her iki ülkede hepatit B için endemik olmakla birlikte, Nijerya'daki kan donörleri arasında hepatit B'nin yaygınlık oranı Gana'daki kan donörlerinden daha yüksektir.
