Abstract

A Record based study was carried out at Rajah Muthiah Medical College & Hospital attached with Annamalai University situated at the Southern side of Chennai. Period of the study was from 2009-2015 covering a total of 18,740 blood donors. The study is conducted to demonstrate the transfusion risk potential of TTI’s(Transfusion Transmitted Infections) with blood donors &analyze the seroprevalence of HIV, HBV & HCV. To hold back the transmission to a minimum, these studies are very essential. Thus, the study is aimed to eliminate the prevalence of HIV; HBV & HCV among the blood collected from donors and identify the trend of increment or decrement in the prevalence of these diseases.

Keywords: TTI’s, Blood Donors, HIV, HBV, HVC.
