Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Aims: Blood transfusion is a source of transmission of infectious agents to the recipients. With every unit of blood transfused, there is 1% chance of transfusion associated problems including TTIs. The aim of the present study was to study the seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, syphilis and malaria among the blood donors. Methodology: The present study was a retrospective study in which a total of 10668 units of donor’s blood were screened for five TTIs from 2013 to 2017 at blood bank, ASCOMS & Hospital, Jammu. Results: The overall seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, syphilis and malaria was 0.03%, 0.31%, 0.075%, 0.36% and 0.0% respectively. Conclusion: All blood donations should be screened for TTIs to ensure safe blood transfusion to the recipients. With the implementation of strict selection criteria of donors and use of sensitive screening tests for TTIs, it is possible to decrease the incidence of TTIs among recipients of blood products.
