Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to present the status of transfusion –transmitted infections among the apparently healthy donors so as to increase the awareness of complications of blood transfusion and make the clinicians more vigilant with regard to judicious use of blood. Methodology: A total of 15322 units of donor’s blood were screened from January 2008 to December 2010 at blood bank of C R Gardi Hospital and R D Gardi medical college. Results and Conclusion: The result of screening showed total seropositive samples for hepatitis B were 288 (1.88%), hepatitis C 52 (0.34%), human immunodeficiency virus 57 (HIV; 0.37% ) and Venereal Disease Research Laboratory Test 135 (VDRL; 0.88%) by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA ) methods, and rapid plasma regain (RPR) method for syphilis.
