Because of the risk of transmitting the acquired immune deficiency syndrome through corneal transplantation, health officials have recommended donor screening. We prospectively studied the seropositivity rate for human immunodeficiency virus infection among ocular tissue donors at our eye bank during 1986. Of 1,517 corneal donors, 5 (0.3%) were repeatedly reactive by enzyme immunoassay. For comparison, 131 (0.06%) of 206,415 blood donors in Houston were similarly seropositive during this same 1-year period. Routine serological testing can be successfully implemented by eye banking personnel to potentially reduce the risk of viral transmission by keratoplasty.
由于通过角膜移植传播获得性免疫缺陷综合征的风险，卫生官员建议对供体进行筛查。我们前瞻性地研究了1986年我们眼库中眼部组织供体感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的血清阳性率。在1517名角膜供体中，有5名（0.3%）通过酶免疫测定法多次呈反应性。作为比较，在同一1年期间，休斯顿206415名献血者中有131名（0.06%）血清学检查结果同样呈阳性。眼库工作人员可以成功地实施常规血清学检测，以潜在地降低角膜移植传播病毒的风险。
