The purpose of our study was to assess whether Leishmania infantum parasitemia occurs in asymptomatic Leishmania-seropositive subjects. Samples from 500 blood donors were tested using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-Leishmania antibodies were not found in any sample. Our findings suggest that the risk of L. infantum transmission by blood transfusion in Sicily is very low.
我们研究的目的是评估婴儿利什曼原虫血症是否发生在无症状的利什曼原虫血清反应阳性的受试者中。使用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）对500名献血者的样本进行检测。在任何样本中均未发现抗利什曼原虫抗体。我们的研究结果表明，在西西里岛通过输血传播婴儿利什曼原虫的风险非常低。
