摘要

按照世界卫生组织（世卫组织）的建议对献血者进行疟疾寄生虫筛查，目前尚未列入尼日利亚许多私营和公共卫生设施的献血者预筛查规程和程序。方法对埃努古城区两家医院的自愿献血者、家庭献血者和有偿献血者进行横断面研究。使用结构良好的问卷收集人口统计和献血历史数据。从每位献血者身上采集了5毫升血液，其中2毫升用于筛查疟疾寄生虫。结果共有377名献血者参与研究，其中148人（39.3%）为疟疾阳性。献血者以16-25岁和26-35岁年龄组居多，分别为40.0%和44.1%。与36-45岁年龄组相比，这两个年龄组的疟疾流行率都很高（26.7%）。然而，4个年龄组间疟疾流行率的总体差异无统计学意义(χ2 = 5.437；p值= 0.142)。大多数(n = 290；男性占76.9%，女性占87例（23.1%）。尽管女性献血者的疟疾患病率（47.1%）高于男性献血者（36.9%），但差异无统计学意义（p值= 0.057）。结论研究区疟疾流行率较高，需要对献血者血样进行疟原虫筛查。

Prevalence of malaria parasites among blood donors in two hospitals in Enugu metropolis, Nigeria

Introduction

Screening of blood donors for malaria parasites as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) is currently not included in the protocols and procedures for pre-screening blood donors of many private and public health facilities in Nigeria.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted of voluntary, family, and remunerated blood donors in two hospitals in the Enugu metropolis. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect demographics and blood donation history data. Five milliliters of blood were collected from each blood donor, of which 2 mL were used to screen for malaria parasites.

Results

Three hundred and seventy-seven blood donors participated in the study with 148 (39.3 %) being malaria-positive. Most of the blood donors were in the age groups 16–25 and 26–35 years old with prevalences of 40.0 % and 44.1 %, respectively. The prevalence of malaria in both age groups was high compared to the 36–45 years age group (26.7 %). Still, the overall difference in malaria prevalence across the four age groups was not statistically significant (χ² = 5.437; p-value = 0.142). The majority (n = 290; 76.9 %) of the donors were male, while 87 (23.1 %) were female. Although female blood donors had a higher prevalence of malaria (47.1 %) compared to male donors (36.9 %), the difference was not statistically significant (p-value = 0.057).
