College going first time voluntary blood donors were tested for HBV, HCV and HIV infections, to know the seroprevalence of these diseases among them.
Blood donation camps were organized at 18 colleges and universities of the city and a total of 612 samples from first time donors were tested for HbsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV1, 2 antibodies on Abbott Diagnostic systems.
Thirteen voluntary blood donors (2.21% with 95% confidence limit 1.2-3.52%) were HbsAg and 3 (0.5% with 95% confidence limit 0.12-1.33%) were anti HCV positive. None of the donors was positive for HIV infection.
Seroprevalence of HBV, HCV and HIV infections among college going students is significantly low (< 3.0%) than 30% seroprevalence among paid donors and 7% among family/replacement blood donors. There is a need to educate, motivate and recruit college going students to regularly donate blood to ensure relatively safe supply of blood for transfusion services.
对首次参加献血的大学生进行乙肝病毒(HBV)、丙肝病毒(HCV)和人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染检测,以了解这些疾病在他们中的血清流行率。
在该市的18所高校组织了献血活动,共对612名首次献血者的样本在雅培诊断系统上进行了乙肝表面抗原(HbsAg)、抗丙肝病毒(anti-HCV)、抗HIV1、2抗体检测。
13名自愿献血者乙肝表面抗原呈阳性(2.21%,95%置信区间为1.2 - 3.52%),3名(0.5%,95%置信区间为0.12 - 1.33%)抗丙肝病毒呈阳性。没有献血者HIV感染呈阳性。
大学生中HBV、HCV和HIV感染的血清流行率显著低于有偿献血者中的30%和家庭/替代献血者中的7%(< 3.0%)。有必要对大学生进行教育、激励并招募他们定期献血,以确保输血服务有相对安全供血。
