Abstract

Background: Blood transfusion and its derivatives are an essential therapeutic action in the different hospital services. Despite the strict haemovigilance carried out in blood banks, there is still a residual risk of contracting infectious diseases through blood transfusion.

Objective: To determine the seroprevalence of infectious agents in blood donors.

Material and methods: Retrospective and observational study. The detections were made in blood donors who came to the blood bank of the General Hospital Zone No. 1 of Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico, during the period from August 2020 to December 2023.

Results: The general seroprevalence was 3.94%, with syphilis being most frequently found (1.37%), followed by brucellosis (1.17%), human immunodeficiency virus (0.55%), hepatitis C (0.34%), hepatitis B (0.19%), and Chagas disease (0.19%), with 0.10% of co-infection cases.

Conclusions: The seroprevalence of infectious agents in blood donors described in this study allows us to know an epidemiological overview of what happened in a city on the Southern border of Mexico, reaffirming syphilis as a re-emerging disease in this zone, with high prevalences of brucellosis and human immunodeficiency virus.

墨西哥南部边境一家医院献血者感染因子的血清流行率。

背景：输血及其衍生物是不同医院服务中必不可少的治疗行动。尽管血库实行严格的血液警戒，但仍存在通过输血感染传染病的残余风险。目的：了解献血者中感染性病原体的血清阳性率。材料与方法：回顾性观察性研究。这些检测是在2020年8月至2023年12月期间前往墨西哥恰帕斯州塔帕丘拉第一综合医院血库的献血者中进行的。结果：总血清阳性率为3.94%，以梅毒最常见（1.37%），其次为布鲁氏菌病（1.17%）、人类免疫缺陷病毒（0.55%）、丙型肝炎（0.34%）、乙型肝炎（0.19%）和恰加斯病（0.19%），共感染病例占0.10%。结论：本研究中描述的献血者中感染性病原体的血清流行率使我们能够了解墨西哥南部边境一个城市发生的流行病学概况，重申梅毒是该地区再次出现的疾病，布鲁氏菌病和人类免疫缺陷病毒的高流行率。
