Prevalence of Transfusion-Transmissible Infections Among Voluntary Blood Donors in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Cureus
September 2024
Orthopaedic Surgery, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research, Wardha, IND.
Background Transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs) pose a significant risk to blood transfusion safety, especially in low-resource settings. TTIs include infections such as HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), syphilis, and malaria. Over four years, this study assesses the seroprevalence of TTIs among voluntary blood donors at a tertiary care center.

Background: A transfusion-transmissible infection (TTI) refers to any infection that can be spread from one person to another through the injection of blood or blood products. The prevalence of these infections varies across countries, influenced by the disease burden within each population. To assess the severity of TTIs, the World Health Organization (WHO) has mandated pre-transfusion blood tests for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and syphilis.

Objectives: To ascertain the prevalence of transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs) across diverse donor groups in the Najran province. Additionally, to establish a potential association between the development of TTI and the donors' blood group, as determined by the ABO/Rh blood grouping system.
Methods: Blood donation data of 4120 donors, spanning from January to December 2020, were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: In developing countries, the safety of blood transfusions remains an important public health concern as it is associated with a higher risk of transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs). In this study, we aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of HIV among blood donors in Africa and assess the temporal trends and regional differences within the continent through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Seven electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Scopus, HINARI, Global Index Medicus and Clinical.
