Abstract

Objective – To study the socio-demographic profile of blood donors and to determine the seroprevalence of transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs) among them. Materials and methods – It is a retrospective cross-sectional study for 3 years from January 2020 to December 2022. Records of the blood donors were collected from the blood bank of a tertiary care teaching hospital and were analyzed through epi info7 to find out the seroprevalence of TTIs. Results – Among the donors majority were male (76.74%) and 1.11% were found to be seropositive for TTIs. Seroprevalence was highest for hepatitis B (0.72%) followed by hepatitis C (0.18%), syphilis (0.13%) and least for human immunodeficiency virus (0.08%); however, no donor was found to be positive for malaria. Seropositivity was highest among the age group of 31-40 years of age (47.12%). Conclusion – Increase in public awareness regarding voluntary blood donation, meticulous donor screening and regular use of highly sensitive tests are essential to reduce the risk of TTIs.

西孟加拉邦SUNDARBAN地区一所新建立的三级护理教学医院献血者中输血传播性感染的血清流行率

目的：研究献血者的社会人口学特征，并确定他们中输血传播性感染（TTI）的血清流行率。材料和方法——这是一项从2020年1月到2022年12月为期3年的回顾性横断面研究。从一家三级护理教学医院的血库收集献血者的记录，并通过epi info7进行分析，以了解TTI的血清流行率。结果-在捐献者中，大多数是男性（76.74%），1.11%的TTI血清阳性。乙型肝炎的血清流行率最高（0.72%），其次是丙型肝炎（0.18%）、梅毒（0.13%），人类免疫缺陷病毒最低（0.08%）；然而，没有发现任何捐赠者对疟疾呈阳性反应。31-40岁年龄组的血清阳性率最高（47.12%）。结论——提高公众对自愿献血的认识、仔细的献血者筛查和定期使用高度敏感的检测对于降低TTI的风险至关重要。
