In India, screening for TTIs such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-I/II, malaria, and syphilis is mandatory before blood transfusions. Worldwide, HCV, HBV, and HIV are the leading viruses causing mortality, affecting millions of people globally, including those with co-infections of HIV/HCV and HIV/HBV. Studies highlight the impact of TTIs on life expectancy and health risks, such as liver cirrhosis, cancer, and other diseases in individuals with chronic HBV. Globally, millions of blood donations take place annually, emphasizing the importance of maintaining blood safety.</p> <div class="article-section-title-1">AIM</div><p>To study the prevalence of TTIs, viz., HBV, HCV, HIV I/II, syphilis, and malaria parasite (MP), among different blood donor groups.</p> <div class="article-section-title-1">METHODS</div><p>The study assessed the prevalence of TTIs among different blood donor groups in Delhi, India. Groups included total donors, in-house donors, total camp donors, institutional camp donors, and community camp donors. Tests for HIV, HBV, and HCV were done using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, while syphilis was tested with rapid plasma reagins and MP rapid card methods. The prevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV, and syphilis, expressed as percentages. Differences in infection rates between the groups were analyzed using <i>χ</i>² tests and <i>P</i>-values (less than 0.05).</p> <div class="article-section-title-1">RESULTS</div><p>The study evaluated TTIs among 42158 blood donors in Delhi. The overall cumulative frequency of TTIs in total blood donors was 2.071%, and the frequencies of HBV, HCV, HIV-I/II, venereal disease research laboratory, and MP were 1.048%, 0.425%, 0.221%, 0.377%, and 0.0024%, respectively. In-house donors, representing 37656 donors, had the highest transfusion transmissible infection (TTI) prevalence at 2.167%. Among total camp donors (4502 donors), TTIs were identified in 1.266% of donors, while community camp donors (2439 donors) exhibited a prevalence of 1.558%. Institutional camp donors (2063 donors) had the lowest TTI prevalence at 0.921%. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in overall TTI prevalence, with total and in-house donors exhibiting higher rates compared to camp donors.</p> <div class="article-section-title-1">CONCLUSION</div><p>Ongoing monitoring and effective screening programs are essential for minimizing TTIs.

Key TTIs include hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-I/II, and syphilis. In India, screening for TTIs such as HIV-I/II, HBV, HCV, malaria parasite (MP), and syphilis is mandatory before any blood transfusion[<a class="refcontent" href="#B1" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B1">1</a>,<a class="refcontent" href="#B2" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B2">2</a>].</p><p class="article-section-content" id="p12">Globally, the three most prevalent viruses causing mortality are HCV, HBV, and HIV[<a class="refcontent" href="#B3" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B3">3</a>]. Epidemiological data indicate that there are approximately 71.0 million individuals living with HCV, 25.70 million with HBV, and 36.70 million with HIV worldwide. Additionally, according to an estimate, 2.30 million and 2.70 million patients suffer from co-infections of HIV/HCV and HIV/HBV, respectively, due to similar transmission routes[<a class="refcontent" href="#B4" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B4">4</a>]. A study in Tuscany, Italy, revealed an increase in life expectancy at birth of 2.9 years for men and 2.6 years for women, while an increase in infectious disease mortality resulted in a decrease in life expectancy by 0.11 years for men and 0.16 years for women[<a class="refcontent" href="#B5" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B5">5</a>].

frequency of TTIs in blood donors was 2.071%, and frequency of HBV, HCV, HIV-I/II, venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) and MP were 1.048%, 0.425%, 0.221%, 0.377% and 0.0024% respectively. Our study results show the overall cumulative frequency of TTIs in blood donors as 2.071%, and the frequencies of HBV, HIV-I/II, HCV, syphilis, and MP were 0.425%, 1.048%, 0.221%, 0.377%, and 0.0024%, respectively. The overall prevalence of TTIs in the present study was similar to the findings of Thakur <i>et al</i>[<a class="refcontent" href="#B12" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B12">12</a>], who have reported an overall TTI prevalence of 2.038% (1.111% for HBV, 0.431% for HCV, 0.201% for HIV, 0.29% for syphilis, and 0.006% for MP). This aligns closely with the figures reported by Assessment of Blood Banks in 2016 for Delhi (2.03% TTI prevalence) and other nearby Northern Indian states like Punjab (2.64% TTI prevalence) and Haryana (1.97% TTI prevalence)[<a class="refcontent" href="#B13" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B13">13</a>].</p><p class="article-section-content" id="p14">The variation in TTI prevalence is notable across different states of India. For instance, the highest TTI prevalence rates in India were observed in Puducherry (3.13%) and Arunachal Pradesh (2.19%). In contrast, Kerala had one of the lowest rates at 0.56%[<a class="refcontent" href="#B13" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B13">13</a>]. This variability suggests that local factors such as healthcare infrastructure, blood donor screening processes, and population health may influence TTI prevalence rates[<a class="refcontent" href="#B13" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B13">13</a>].</p><p class="article-section-content" id="p15">On an international scale, the TTI prevalence also varies widely across different countries. Notable high prevalence rates were observed in Malawi, Kenya, and Ghana, with a combined rate of 10.7%, including 3.4% for HBV, 2.4% for HCV, and 2.4% for HIV[<a class="refcontent" href="#B27" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B27">27</a>].

Camp donors were further divided into institutional camp donors and community camp donors. We found the lowest prevalence of TTIs among institutional camp donors, whereas the highest prevalence was noted among in-house donors. The institutions in the present study were mostly educational institutes (example, colleges and various government offices); there was a lower prevalence of TTIs among the students and employees of these institutes. Shrivastava <i>et al</i>[<a class="refcontent" href="#B10" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B10">10</a>] in their study found that seroprevalence rate of TTI was significantly higher (3.8%) in replacement donations compared to voluntary blood donors (2.3%). Similarly, Jain <i>et al</i>[<a class="refcontent" href="#B11" data-jats-ref-type="bibr" data-jats-rid="B11">11</a>] found a higher prevalence of TTIs in family donors in comparison to voluntary donors.</p><p class="article-section-content" id="p17">In-house donors, being a heterogeneous group, include relatives of admitted patients. These donors, although highly motivated, had the highest prevalence of TTIs.</p><p class="article-section-content" id="p18">Among the camp donors, the prevalence of VDRL reactivity was significantly higher in community donors as compared to institutional donors.</p><p class="article-section-content" id="p19">The impact of education levels and socio-economic conditions of blood donors on the prevalence of TTI was not the focus of the present study. Moreover, the present study does not discuss strategies to enhance current screening technologies or donor counseling methods to reduce the risk of infected donations. These are few limitations of the present study. Future studies should explore these variables to gain a deeper understanding of their role in reducing TTIs among blood donors. Research into advanced screening techniques and more effective pre-donation counseling could lead to better outcomes in blood safety.</p></div><div id="sec15"><div id="sec15title" class="article-section-title-0">CONCLUSION</div><p class="article-section-content" id="p11">The data underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and effective screening programs for blood transfusions to minimize the transmission of TTIs. The differences in TTI prevalence rates across various donor groups and regions suggest the need for tailored approaches to blood safety measures and targeted interventions to address the health challenges. Further research of social–economic–health factors is essential to improve blood safety and reduce the risk of transfusion-related infections across diverse populations.</p></div><div id="sec16"><div
