Abstract

Background: Transfusion transmissible diseases continue to be a threat to safe transfusion practices. We analyzed the prevalence and trends of HIV, HBV, HCV and Syphilis markers among voluntary and replacement blood donors in a 6 years retrospective study from January 2010 till December 2015 at the blood bank Government Medical College and Hospital Akola, Maharashtra. Aims & objectives: To access the seroprevalence and trends of HIV, HBV, HCV and Syphilis markers among blood donors and access the level of blood safety. Methods: A total of 36781 healthy blood donations were screened for Anti-HIV IgG and IgM antibodies (ELISA method using fourth generation Microlisa HIV Ab detection), HBsAg (Hepalisa Microwell ELISA),Anti- HCV IgG and IgM ( third generation HCV Microlisa Microwell ELISA ) and Rapid Card test for Treponema pallidum. Result: Out of these, 31904(86.74%) were voluntary donors and 4877 (13.26%) were replacement donors. Total 605 bags tested positive for transfusion transmissible infections. The average prevalence in percentage was found to be 1.64%. The overall seroprevalence rate of HIV, HBV, HCV and syphilis among the blood donors was 0.24%, 1.24%, 0.15% and 0.005% respectively. Conclusion: The screening of blood is the only way to prevent transfusion associated complications and this should be rigorously implemented. There is a need to stress more stringent donor selection criteria to ensure a safer blood supply. [Ajay J NJIRM 2017; 8(3):7-11]
