Abstract

Objective: Detection of viral hepatitis B and C, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), syphilis, and Co-infections among serum of blood donors in Khanaqin city.

Material and methods: The conducted investigation was happened in Khanaqin city/ Iraq on blood donors who visiting the main blood bank of diyala health department for period 1/6 to 30/7 -2024. 1500 blood samples were collected from those individuals for detection positivity of microbial infections (HCV, HBS, HIV, and Treponema palladium). Enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA) method used to detect positivity of HCV, HBV, HIV, and Treponema palladium microbes among blood donors. SPSS v. 23.0 and Excel 2013 programs were utilized analyze our data.

Results: Study results showed the most participants were; males (78.0%) within age group 41-50 years (32.0%), live in urban (68.0%), blood groups A (36.0%) and O (34.0%), no employed (68.0%), singles (74.0%), secondary education level (56.0%), no smoking (80.0%) and no alcohol use (86.0%). The differences among percentages of demographic features were significant (p<0.05), in exception, living and occupation features were no significant (p>0.05). Positivity of microbial infections in blood donors were as following; HCV (0.4%), HBV (1.7%), HIV (0.1%), TP (1.3%), and co-infection (HBV+TP) (0.3%). Finally, the correlations between microbial infections and most demographic features were significant (p<0.05).

Conclusions; Present study showed the hepatitis B and syphilis infections scored high prevalence among blood donors, while AIDS scored lowered incidence. Singles males within 21-40 years and have A and B blood groups, and secondary education participants are more risk factor for microbial infections. This study highlights the necessity of creating a precise framework for blood donor monitoring. To assist maintain a sustained rise in the blood supply without endangering safety, young female donors should be encouraged to give blood.
