Prevalencia de agentes transmisibles por transfusión y factores asociados en un banco de sangre de Córdoba- Colombia 2014-2016

Transfusion therapy is an important therapeutic alternative; the risk of transmitting infections in this way constitutes a clinical and public health problem, with magnitude and as-sociated heterogeneous factors according to the reference population of each blood bank. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of transmissible agents by transfusion and associated factors in a blood bank of Cór-doba-Colombia 2014-2016. A prevalence study was carried out in all blood bank donors, the global prevalence of reac-tivity was estimated and the agent was specified, the associated factors were studied with chi-square, prevalence ratios and odds ratios adjusted to a regression model. multivariate logistics. 39,825 donors were included. The overall preva-lence of positivity was 1.4%. The prevalence for Treponema pallidum was 0.43%, Trypanosoma cruzi 0.39%, hepatitis B virus core 0.32% and Hepatitis B Surface Antigen 0.05%, Human Immunodeficiency Virus 0.14% , Human T-cell Lym-photropic Virus 0.08%, Hepatitis C Virus 0.04% and Plasmo-dium spp. 0% .In the overall prevalence, T. pallidum infec-tions, positivity for the antibody against the central antigen of the hepatitis virus B and Lymphotropic Human T Cell Virus were statistically higher in women, older people, residents of other departments different from Córdoba, housewives, pensioners, farmers and ranchers, administrators and other professions, military and health workers. The prevalence of infections was low, however, the finding of subgroups with statistically significant prevalences allows to guide new re-search and epidemiological surveillance interventions.
