Abstract :
Introduction: Blood donation is a life saving intervention and benefits innumerous patients world wide(1). Screening of transfusion transmissible infections can be a cost effective approach to monitor the prevalence, among healthy looking blood donors(2). The aim of the study was to analyse the seroprevalence of HIV, HBsAg, HCV & VDRL infections in the pretransfusion blood. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the present study we aimed to determine the prevalence of transfusion transmitted infection mainly HIV, HBsAg, HCV & VDRL among the healthy blood donors during the period of 1st January 2010 to 30th June 2013. Total 6593 units of blood were collected and were tested for HIV, HBsAg, HCV & VDRL. RESULT: From the total 6593 blood donors, 158 were seroreactive of at least one of the Transfusion transmitted infection i.e HIV, HBsAg, HCV & VDRL. The prevalence of HbsAg was 122(1.8%), HIV was 15(0.22%) , VDRL was 15(0.22%) and HCV was 06(0.09%) in the present study. CONCLUSION: The seroprevalance of HBsAg(1.8%) is higher compared to other transfusion transmitted infection i.e HIV, HCV and VDRL.
