A Study on Trends of Infective Seropositivity among Blood Donors at the Blood Bank of a Tertiary Care Centre
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs) or seropositivity among blood donors are major problems associated with blood transfusion practices. Safe blood and blood products should be transfused to all patients in need for blood transfusion. All blood donors attending to the Blood bank during the period January 2012 to December 2014 were screened for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti HCV antibody, anti HIV-1, 2 antibodies by using the appropriate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Malarial antigen and syphilis testing were done by immunochromatographic technique and rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test respectively. Of the 88,084 donors who were screened during the study period, 22,764 (25.84%) were voluntary and 65,320 (74.16%) were replacement donors. Of them, total 1148 (1.3%) were seropositive. Out of 1148 seropositive cases 0.16%, 0.75%, 0.21%, 0.08% and 0.14% were HIV, HBV, HCV, VDRL and MP respectively. Co-infection was seen in 29 (0.03%) donors. A properly conducted donor screening, notification and improving hemovigilance system will help in reducing the chances of transfusion transmitted infections rates.
