Dengue infection is an emerging public health issue in Iran, with about 149 confirmed newly infected cases. It can be transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes and even nosocomial routes. Due to the rapid replication and geographical spread of the mosquito, there is a potential risk of increased infected individuals. Given the possibility of the transmission of dengue infection through transfusion, it is important to implement policies to improve blood safety. Proper donor selection by utilizing appropriate blood donor questionnaires and performing general physical examinations, along with performing sensitive diagnostic tests on blood donor samples, utilizing pathogen reduction techniques, and implementing lookback programs, can be effective in reducing the risk of transfusion-transmitted dengue virus (TT-DENV).
登革热感染是伊朗一个新出现的公共卫生问题，新确诊的感染病例约有149例。它可通过受感染的伊蚊叮咬传播，甚至可通过医院感染途径传播。由于蚊子的快速繁殖和地理扩散，存在感染个体增加的潜在风险。鉴于登革热感染通过输血传播的可能性，实施改善血液安全的政策很重要。通过使用适当的献血者问卷进行适当的献血者选择、进行一般体格检查、对献血者样本进行敏感的诊断测试、利用病原体灭活技术以及实施追溯计划，可有效降低输血传播登革热病毒（TT-DENV）的风险。
