Abstract
The transfusion of blood and its component is very essential health care modality wherein it saves life but can also be hazardous to recipients Despite of stringent screening methods done prior to transfusion there is always a bleak possibility of getting infections like HIV HCV HBV Treponema pallidum and malaria This study was a retrospective study carried out at Blood Bank and Component Lab Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh Memorial Medical College Amravati over period of five years A total of 52606 donors blood was collected over the period of 5 years From 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2016 Out of these 45796 8705 were voluntary blood donations and 6810 1294 were replacement Blood donations The overall seropositivity for all TTIs HIV HCV HBV Treponema pallidum and malaria over a period of five years was found to be 1425 271 in which 1081 236 were voluntary donors and 344 505 were replacement donors It was observed from the findings of this study that seropositivity rate of TTIs was less among voluntary donors It was concluded that to improve blood safety extensive donor selection use of sensitive screening and establishing strict guidelines in blood transfusion will help us to reduce burden of TTIs in our society Keywords Seroprevalence Seropositivity TTIs Voluntary donors Replacement donors
