Analysis on determination results of serum infectious makers in 6421 patients before transfusion and operation

Objective To perform the detection of HBV,HCV,syphilis(TP) and HIV infections of pre-blood transfusion patients to understand the status of infectious diseases before transfusion and identify the patients either pre-hospital infection or iatrogenic infection in order to prevent medical workers occupational exposure and medica1 dissension.Methods 6 421 cases before transfusion were detected anti-HBsAg,anti-HCV,anti-TP and anti-HIV by ELISA method.Results The positive rates were 12.76% for HBsAg,0.72% for HCV,1.83% for anti-TP and 0.08% for anti-HIV respectively.The positive rate of HBsAg in males was significant higher than in females with statistical difference between them(15.58% vs.9.02%,P0.01).But there was no statistical difference in the positive rates of anti-HCV,anti-TP and anti-HIV between males and females(P0.05).Conclusion Before blood transfusion,the positive rate of four serum infectious markers reaches to 0.08%-12.70%;the infection rate of HBV,TP and HIV is basically same to that in other areas;but the HCV infection rate is lower than that in other areas.
