Forty eye banks responded to an Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) questionnaire concerning screening patients at risk for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and hepatitis B. Respondents accounted for 26% (8787 of 33,500) of the total volume of eyes donated in North America in 1986. Sixty (0.68%) of 8787 donors were found to be antibody positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and 69 (1.33%) of 5187 donors were found to be positive for hepatitis B virus (HBV). The age, cause of death, and source of tissue were also studied. The finding of seropositivity for HIV in very young and elderly donors without identified risk factors underscores the need to screen all potential cornea donors for the presence of HIV antibodies. The data on HBV lend further support to the importance of such screening procedures.
40家眼库回复了美国眼库协会（EBAA）关于对获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）和乙型肝炎高危患者进行筛查的调查问卷。这些受访者提供的眼睛数量占1986年北美地区捐赠眼睛总量的26%（33500只中的8787只）。在8787名捐赠者中，有60名（0.68%）被发现人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）抗体呈阳性，在5187名捐赠者中，有69名（1.33%）被发现乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）呈阳性。同时还研究了捐赠者的年龄、死因和组织来源。在没有明确风险因素的非常年轻和年长的捐赠者中发现HIV血清阳性，这突出表明需要对所有潜在的角膜捐赠者进行HIV抗体筛查。关于HBV的数据进一步支持了此类筛查程序的重要性。
