The Current Risk of Retroviral Infections Transmitted by Transfusion in Patients Who Have Undergone Multiple Transfusions

Abstract: The application of reliable screening procedures for donor selection reduced the transmission of transfusion-associated HIV infection in 1989-1995 to fewer than 2 cases in 10,000 person-years or 1 case per 190,000 units of red blood cells.

“…The results from this study and the earlier multicenter study (1) suggest that the prevalence of HTLV tax sequences in low-risk blood donors is not as high as previously reported (19,20) and provide additional support that the risk of transmission of HTLV by screened blood products is remote (12,15).…”

“…During the follow-up of 1,001 patients, receiving approximately 190,000 red cell units between 1990 and 1996, we identified only one seroconversion, accounting for an incidence of 1.7/10,000 person-years. This corresponds to a risk of 1/190,000 [7], which seems in the same order of magnitude of that calculated in the USA using the incidence/window period model [57]. …”

“…Subsequently, the frequency of HIV infection decreased to 2.9% in 1990 [7, 24], and 1.8% in 1998 [10]. This was due to two main reasons: (a) the efficacy of anti-HIV screening for blood donations, implemented in 1985, and (b) the high mortality among HIV-infected thalassaemics (25% over a 6-year period) [7]. …”
