SEROPREVALENCE OF TRANSFUSION TRANSMISSIBLE INFECTIONS IN BLOOD DONORS OF A NEWLY ESTABLISHED TERTIARY CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL NEAR SUNDARBAN REGION OF WEST BENGAL
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.
