Transfusion Transmissible Infections

Regardless of advancement in screening technologies while blood transfusion, there is still a risk of transfusion-transmitted infectious diseases. These infectious diseases can be reduced by donor exclusion, screening for serological infection markers or nucleic acid testing (NAT) by viral gene amplification. Nevertheless, blood-borne infection is transferred through transfusion of infected blood donated by apparently healthy and asymptomatic blood donors. Infectious agents involved are of various types which include-

  • Hepatitis B (HBV)
  • Hepatitis C (HCV)
  • Human immunodeficiency (HIV-1/2)
  • Human T-cell lymphotropic (HTLV-I/II)
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
  • West Nile (WNV)
  • Trypanosomiasis
  • Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE)
  • Malaria and Dengue Viruses
