This study was conducted to evaluate the burden of HIV/AIDS on blood bank reserves at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, during 1995-2005. The number of admissions due to HIV/AIDS rose from 43 in 1995 to 447 in 2005, and the proportion of blood units used in transfusing patients with HIV/AIDS rose steadily from 3% in 1995 to 19% in 2005. The proportion of blood units used in managing obstetric patients was also high and fluctuated between 36% and 50% during the period of study. Controlling the spread of HIV, effective treatment of patients with antiretroviral drugs and setting up a functional national blood transfusion service could lessen the rising burden of transfusion in Nigeria and improve blood availability for maternal and child health care.
本研究旨在评估1995年至2005年期间,尼日利亚迈杜古里大学教学医院艾滋病毒/艾滋病对血库储备造成的负担。因艾滋病毒/艾滋病入院的人数从1995年的43人增至2005年的447人,用于为艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者输血的血液单位比例从1995年的3%稳步升至2005年的19%。用于产科患者治疗的血液单位比例也很高,在研究期间波动于36%至50%之间。控制艾滋病毒传播、使用抗逆转录病毒药物有效治疗患者以及建立一个有效的国家输血服务机构,可减轻尼日利亚日益增加的输血负担,并改善母婴保健用血的供应情况。
