Article Synopsis
- - Dengue is a common disease in Brazil, leading to seasonal outbreaks that can increase the risk of transfusion-transmitted dengue (TTD) from undetected cases in blood donors.
- - A study was conducted in 2019 during a significant outbreak in the Federal District, screening 450 blood donations for dengue antibodies (anti-DENV IgM) and antigens (DENV NS1).
- - The results showed that 16% of the samples had anti-DENV IgM, but none tested positive for DENV NS1, indicating the need for ongoing screening of blood donors during dengue outbreaks.
