Séroprévalence du VIH, VHB, VHC et de Treponema pallidum chez les donneurs du sang bénévoles au Centre National de Transfusion Sanguine d’Antananarivo de 1992 à 2010

Abstract

Introduction. To determine the seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV and Treponema pallidum in voluntary blood donors. Materials and methods. A retrospective study was conducted during an 18 years period (1998-2010) at the National Center of Blood Trans- fusion, Antananarivo. Results. 5504 donors were included, 5.85% (322) had at least one positive serology regarding the four microorganisms. Seroprevalence of HIV, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and Treponema pallidum was 0.47% (n=26), 3.21% (n=177) and 0.98% (n=54), 1.18 % (n=65) respec- tively. Hepatitis B virus was more prevalent in male. Conclusion. At the National Blood Transfusion Center of Antananarivo the seroprevalence of HIV, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and Treponema pallidum is lower than in general population. The increase in HIV seroprevalence must improve screening methods such as de- tecting AgP24 rapids tests and even PCR.
