Infectious markers in blood donors of East Delhi: prevalence and trends
Indian J Pathol Microbiol.
2004 Oct.
Abstract
All blood donors Voluntary and Replacement who have donated blood in the centre or in the voluntary blood donation camps, were analyzed for the prevalence of infectious markers over a period of 3 years from 1997 to 1999. A total of 52500 blood units were collected and screened for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), antibodies to HIV I and II and VDRL reactivity. Seropositivity was 471 (0.8%) for HIV I and II, 963 (1.8%) for HbsAg, 1449 (2.76%) for VDRL and 64 (0.5%) for anti HCV. Voluntary donors were comparatively safe. The seropositivity for HIV showed increasing trend between 1997 to 1999.
