Abstract : β-Thalassemia major is a common inherited disorder characterized by reduced or absent β-globin chain production, often requiring lifelong blood transfusions for survival. Iron overload is a known complication of repeated transfusions but little is discussed about increase in transfusion-transmitted infections, particularly hepatitis C virus (HCV). Despite improved donor screening, HCV remains prevalent among multi-transfused thalassemia patients, with reported rates of 7.8–60% in India.
