Abstract
Blood transfusion is beneficial and life saving measure in many cases, but some times
carries some risks for recipients, so measures should be taken to prevent or minimize
these blood transfusion associated risks(Haemovigilance), along the blood transfusion
chain in blood bank and hospital by collecting information and analysis of collected data
for assessment and evaluation.
This study is directed to determine the prevalence of P. falciparum infection and anti
MSP1-19 among clinically healthy blood donors as an example for haemovigilance
system, and to initiate a haemovigilance system to improve blood transfusion safety and
efficacy, for the first time in Sudan in police hospital blood bank. Beside examination
that concern safety of blood transfusion which include HIV and HBV, screening for P.
falciparum malaria has been included in this study. And we found that 1.2% of the blood
donors were HIV seropositive, 8.6% were HBV seropositive, 9% were microscopically
positive for P. falciparum malaria (ring stage), and 11.1% were ICT positive, and 32.95%
were immunoglobulin positive for MSP1-19
In pre- transfusion screening of recipients for P. falciparum malaria we found that 0.8%
were microscopically positive, 4.8% were ICT positive and 12.3% were immunoglobulin
positive for MSP1-19
In post transfusion screening of recipients for P. falciparum malaria we found that 14.6%
were microscopically positive, 14.4% were ICT positive and 14.8% were
immunoglobulin positive for MSP1-19.
