Abstract :
Blood transfusion is one of the life saving procedure that is known to save millions of lives annually. The receipts of blood transfusion are at a risk of acquiring serious life threatening infectious agents if the donors are not screened properly. The retrospective study was conducted in the blood bank SBMCH for the period of 3 years. A total of 3926 donors were screened out of which 61 showed the positive test results. This showed the seroprevalence of 1.55% which is a significant value and a threat to the recipient. So in order to prevent the grave situation the donors should undergo a health check–up questionnaire and must be screened for the blood borne diseases that includes HIV, hepatitis B , hepatitis C, syphilis, and malaria by easily available and cost effective methods. And despite of taking the stringent measures transfusion–transmitted infection continues as a challenge for transfusion experts.
