Objective: Transmission to the recipient of various factors, including most viral infections are the most common complication of blood transfusion. These factors can cause asymptomatic,
acute, chronic and latent infection. Preparation of safe blood for transfusion is done through detailed questioning of donors and screening tests. In our country, blood donors must
be viewed in the mandatory standard parameters; Anti-HCV, Anti-HIV 1/2, HBsAg and VDRL/RPR in accordance with ‘Blood and blood products law’. In our study we aimed to
determine HCV, HIV and HBV prevalence in Konya with these parameters.
Material and Methods: Date between January 2013-April 2016, a total of 79.099 blood donors, whose applied to our hospital, test results were retrospectively screened.
Results: 8,12% (6.428) of those screened were female, 91,88% (72.671) were male. 646 donors (0,82%) were Anti-HCV positive, 45 (0,06%) were Anti-HIV 1/2 reactive and 2.225
(2,81%) were HBsAg positive.
Conclusion: As a result of our study in our region; Anti-HIV 1/2 reactivity ratios have changed over the years, we see that the rates of anti-HCV and HBsAg positivity are in the range of other
studies highest and lowest seropositivity rates.
