Abstract
Objective: The aim and objective of the present study was to detect seroprevalence of transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) among voluntary as well as replacement donors of rural population. Materials and Method: The present study was a retrospective study carried out in the blood bank of tertiary hospital serving mainly rural population of central India From January 2010 to December2015. All blood bags collected from these blood donors during the study period were screened for TTIs like HIV, HBV, HCV and VDRL from serum of the samples collected at the time of bleeding. The serological tests were performed according to the instructions provided by the manufacturers of the respective kit. All seroreactive blood bags were considered as positive for TTIs and were discarded. Result: During this study period total 39732 donors were donated blood in the blood bank out of which 32918 were voluntary donors and 6814 were replacement donors. Out of these total 39732 donors 0.39%, 1.61%0.33 and 0.78% donors were positive for HIV, HBV, HCV and VDRL respectively. We also found the seropositivity was more in voluntary donors as compared to replacement donors.
