Screening blood donors for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies is insufficient to prevent post-transfusion HCV infection. Further measures are needed to ensure blood safety and protect recipients.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Epidemiology
  • Virology

Context:

  • A cooperative prospective study was conducted in China from April 1993 to November 1994.
  • Investigated post-transfusion hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection across four major medical institutions.

Purpose:

  • To assess the effectiveness of anti-HCV screening in blood donors.
  • To determine the incidence of post-transfusion HCV infection in recipients.

Summary:

  • Anti-HCV positive rates varied significantly among donor groups: 14.49% in professional donors, 5.60% in rural donors, and 0.42% in urban volunteer donors.
  • Post-transfusion HCV infection rates in recipients differed markedly across institutions, ranging from 1.53% to 24.59%.
  • Hepatitis B virus infection rates decreased during the study period.

Impact:

  • The study concludes that anti-HCV screening of blood donors does not entirely eliminate the risk of post-transfusion HCV infection.
  • Highlights the need for improved strategies to prevent transfusion-transmitted HCV.
  • Provides crucial data on HCV epidemiology in China during the mid-1990s.
