dc.description.abstract | Transmission of infections through blood and blood product transfusion is a serious healthcare problem. There are insufficient up-to-date data about seroprevalence of HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-HIV 1/2 among healthy blood donors in Turkey. We aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-HIV 1/2 in Southeastern Anatolia, Turkey. HBsAg, anti-HCV, and anti-HIV 1/2 analysis results among blood donors who applied to Dicle University Faculty of Medicine, Diyarbakir District Blood Centre, between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. HBsAg, anti-HCV, and anti-HIV 1/2 screenings were performed using a fully automated device with the microparticle enzyme immunoassay method (MEIA). The chi-square (?²) test was applied to variables. Among the donors, 1607 (1.73%) were HBsAg-positive, 255 (0.27%) were anti-HCV-positive and two (0.0021%) were positive for anti-HIV 1/2. HBsAg positivity rates by years were 2.50% in 2011, 1.92% in 2012, 1.74% in 2013, 1.53% in 2014 and 1.27% in 2015 (p<0.001). HBsAg-positivity was 0.78% for the donors between 18-24 years of age, 1.90% for those between 25-49 years of age and 3.92% for donors over the age of 49 (p<0.001). Anti-HCV positivity rates were as follows: 0.35% in 2011, 0.34% in 2012, 0.29% in 2013, 0.23% in 2014 and 0.16% in 2015 (p<0.001). Verified anti-HIV 1/2 positivity was observed for only two donors (0.0021%) within five years. HBsAg and anti-HCV positivity were observed to decrease significantly over the years and were significantly lower among younger donors. © 2019, EDIMES Edizioni Medico Scientifiche.
