Abstract
Objective To study the significance and role of double testing of blood for virusmarkers.Methods The data on the results of routine blood testing at our station from January ,2002 toDecember ,2003 were gathered and analysed. The blood donors with inconsistent results during the doubletesting were followed up and their blood samples were collected at least six month later. Nucleic acidamplification testing(NAT) was performed on the samples. Results Only 1.37 % of the donors showedinconsistent results during the double testing. Most of the positive results were false positive.Conclusion The quality of the blood supply was not significantly improved by the double testing. Itis helpful to enhance blood safety further by improvement of quality of the reagents and introductionof NAT.
