Relationship Between the HBV Markers in Donors and the Rates of Post-Trans-fusion HBV Infection in Recipients / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

200 units of eligible blood from donors with negative HBsAg reaction had been tested for hepatitis B virus markers (HBVM), using ELISA and dot-blot hybridization. The results of testing showed that 120 of the 200 units of blood had negative HBVM reaction, and the rest 80 units of blood had positive HBVM reaction. Among these 80 units of blood, 62 units had negative hepatitis B virus replication markers (HBVRM) and the rest 18 units had positive HBVRM. The rate, of post-transfusion HBV infection in the patients received HBVM (+) blood was 25.4%, significantly higher than the rate of post-transfusion HBV infection (3.75%) in the patients received HBVM (-) blood (P
