Abstract

Background: The current risk of contracting a transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) is unknown in Burundi.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess sociodemographic profiles of blood bank donors at Kamenge Teaching Hospital, the prevalence and associated risk factors of HIV, syphilis, HBV and HCV from 2015 to 2020.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including all blood donors of Kamenge Teaching Hospital blood bank. During this study, 1370 blood samples were screened for HIV, Syphilis, HBV and HCV. We calculated prevalence of TTIs and performed logistic regression to know associated risk factors.

Results: Blood donors were males at 77% and 23% females. They were mostly students (54.2%). On screening, 83 blood samples (6.06%) were seropositive for at least one TTI. The overall prevalence rate of HIV, Syphilis, HBV and HCV among blood donors was 1.3%, 0.2% ,1.6%, 2.9% respectively. There was difference in distribution of the four TTIs among blood donors which is statistically significant (x²=33.997, ϱ-value<0.001). Private donors were associated with a high risk of syphilis and being a first-time donor was associated with a high HBV risk factor.

Conclusion: The prevalence of TTIs found still to be high; mandatory and continuous screening is necessary.

布隆迪卡门格教学医院血库献血者中的输血传播感染。

背景：布隆迪目前感染输血传播疾病（TTIs）的风险尚不清楚：布隆迪目前感染输血传播感染（TTIs）的风险尚不清楚：本研究旨在评估卡门格教学医院血库献血者的社会人口概况，以及2015年至2020年期间艾滋病毒、梅毒、乙型肝炎病毒和丙型肝炎病毒的流行情况和相关风险因素：我们进行了一项横断面研究，包括卡门格教学医院血库的所有献血者。在这项研究中，我们对 1370 份血样进行了艾滋病毒、梅毒、乙肝病毒和丙肝病毒筛查。我们计算了TTIs的患病率，并进行了逻辑回归以了解相关风险因素：献血者中男性占 77%，女性占 23%。他们大多是学生（54.2%）。经筛查，83 份血样（6.06%）至少有一种 TTI 血清呈阳性。献血者中艾滋病毒、梅毒、乙肝病毒和丙肝病毒的总体感染率分别为 1.3%、0.2%、1.6% 和 2.9%。四种创伤性传染病在献血者中的分布差异具有统计学意义（x2=33.997，ϱ-value）：TTIs 的发病率仍然很高；有必要进行强制性和持续性筛查。
