Since October 2013, French Polynesia has experienced the largest documented outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKAV) infection. To prevent transmission of ZIKAV by blood transfusion, specific nucleic acid testing of blood donors was implemented. From November 2013 to February 2014: 42 (3%) of 1,505 blood donors, although asymptomatic at the time of blood donation, were found positive for ZIKAV by PCR. Our results serve to alert blood safety authorities about the risk of post-transfusion Zika fever.
自 2013 年 10 月以来,法属波利尼西亚经历了有记录以来最大规模的 Zika 病毒(ZIKAV)感染爆发。为了防止输血传播 ZIKAV,对献血者进行了特定的核酸检测。从 2013 年 11 月到 2014 年 2 月:在 1505 名献血者中,有 42 名(3%)尽管在献血时无症状,但通过 PCR 检测呈 Zika 病毒阳性。我们的结果提醒血液安全当局注意输血后 Zika 热的风险。
