Abstract

Blood transfusion increases the risk of transfusion associated infections like HIV, Hepatitis B and C, malaria, syphilis and toxoplasmosis. In poorly developed and developing countries it is one of the greatest challenges to obtain safe blood and its components for transfusion. The global distribution of TTIs varies according to the region of the world and even between neighboring countries. This is a retrospective study carried out at the blood bank attached to Indian Institute of Medical Science and research and Noor Hospital, Jalna. A total of 74,539 blood donors were screened during the study period. Data over a period of 5 years (Jan 2016‐ December 2020) was collected from the records of blood bank. 5 ml of whole blood samples were collected from the subjects into plain sterile tubes and centrifuged and sera were separated and analyzed for different TTI like HIV, HBV, HCV. In the present study highest number of Sero‐reactive cases were found in the year 2016. Age of the donors were ranged from 18‐60 years and patients with age between 26‐35 years have maximum (46.68%) numbers of Sero‐reactive donors. Out of 74,539 donors who were screened 72,928 (97.84%) were males and 1611 (2.16%) were females. The highest prevalence of HIV, HBV and HCV were observed in patients with age between 26‐35 years. The prevalence of HIV, HBV and HCV in the present study was 0.09%, 0.88% and 0.1% respectively. There was a decreasing trend of seroreactivity in blood donors which indicate that proper screening of donors helps to reduce the risk of transmission.
