A retrospective analysis of the results of blood tests conducted on body donors received by the Anatomical Gift Registry of the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) was performed. Over the 5-year period from April 1992 through March 1997 a total of 785 body donors were tested for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B and C Viruses (HBV and HCV). Eighteen of the 785 donors (2.3%) tested positive for one of these infectious agents. Two donors were positive for HIV, six were positive for HBV and ten were positive for HCV. The death certificates and files of those donors who tested positive were reviewed and the results are presented here. Blood testing prior to the use of the body donors is an effective and reasonable way of identifying the presence of these infectious agents, thus reducing the risk to those who work with cadavers. The cost for the testing at MCW is about $60 per donor.
对威斯康星医学院(MCW)解剖学捐赠登记处接收的遗体捐赠者进行的血液检测结果进行了回顾性分析。在1992年4月至1997年3月的5年期间,共对785名遗体捐赠者进行了人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)以及乙型和丙型肝炎病毒(HBV和HCV)检测。785名捐赠者中有18名(2.3%)对这些传染病原体中的一种检测呈阳性。对检测呈阳性的捐赠者的死亡证明和档案进行了审查,结果如下。在使用遗体捐赠者之前进行血液检测是识别这些传染病原体存在的有效且合理的方法,从而降低了与尸体打交道者的风险。MCW的检测费用约为每位捐赠者60美元。
