INTRODUCTION: The transmission of infectious agents such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and syphilis is the greatest threat to transfusion recipient safety. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of infectious markers with a view to contributing to transfusion safety by selecting donors.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the medical records ofblood donors covering the period 1 January to 31 December 2008 was conducted. The global seroprevalence of HIV HBV HCV and syphilis was, respectively, 2.9%, 1.6%, 0.2% and 0.2%. A high seroprevalence was found in the 16-25 and 46-55-year age groups, while there was a high prevalence of syphilis in the 16-25-year age group.
RESULTS: The results confirm the presence of infection by hepatitis B in Kamina and provide an initial insight into the circulation of the hepatitis C virus, the HIV virus and syphilis in the blood donor population.
DISCUSSION: Rigorous selection and screening procedures among blood donors are needed to ensure transfusion recipient safety.
