摘要: Transfusion-transmissible infections among 808 blood donors in Ghana were investigated 1999. Antibody seroprevalences of 3.8, 0.7, 8.4, and 13.5%, respectively, for human immunodeficiency virus, T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1, hepatitis C (HCV), Treponema pallidum obtained. The seroprevalence HCV infection was confirmed to be 0.9% after supplementary testing, the transfusion risk potential these pathogens demonstrated.
