Decreasing Prevalence of Transfusion Transmitted Infection in Indian Scenario

Abstract: Transfusion transmitted infections are major problem associated with blood transfusion. Accurate estimates of risk of TTIs are essential for monitoring the safety of blood supply and evaluating the efficacy of currently employed screening procedures. The present study was carried out to assess the percentage of voluntary donors and replacement donors and to find out prevalence and changing trends of various TTIs blood donors in recent years. A study was carried out on blood units of voluntary and replacement d… Show more

“…This view seems more valid as opposed to the previous one simply because females comprise more than 50% of Pakistan’s population. The prevalence of TTIs among blood donors in a well-structured health care system coupled with a well-organized blood establishment can be used as a reliable tool for statistical calculation of those infectious agents that can be transmitted through blood products in the populations, as discussed by Gharehbaghian and Chandra et al [1, 13]. …”

“…Chandra et al reported prevalence rates of replacement and voluntary donors for HIV (0.08 -0.15%), HBV (0.24 -1.67%), HCV (0.001 -0.49%), VDRL (0.008 -0.01%), and malaria (0.009-0.01%) in their study [10]. When compared to the study of Chandra et al, our study showed low prevalence rates of replacement and voluntary donors for HIV (0.03% to 0.10%), HBV (0.73 -1.19%), and HCV (0.04% to 0.25%); on the other hand, it shows very high prevalence rate for malaria (0.08% to 0.48%) [10].…”

“…Blood Transfusion Center Nishtar Hospital Multan and Fatimid Blood Transfusion Center Multan tested for HbsAg, anti-HCV and HIV; and they noted that the prevalence of hepatitis B and C and HIV infection was 3.37%, 0.27%, and 0%, respectively, "as discussed by Mahmood et al [17]." Furthermore, Chandra et al reported that seropositivity was low both for Malaria (0.009%) and syphilis (0.01%) [10] [18]. Seropositivity of VDRL infection has been constant (0.01%) in the last 12 years from 2001 -2012.…”

“…A 10-year (2000-2009) study in a tertiary care center blood bank in Pune, India reported a significant decrease in transfusion transmissible viral infections, including HIV, HBsAg and HCV, among 51% replacement and 49% voluntary blood donors [3]. Another 5-year (2008Another 5-year ( -2012 study in a blood bank in Lucknow, India, also reported declining TTIs among blood donors, with replacement donors having higher TTIs than voluntary donors [4].…”
