Current Understanding Of Pathogens Of Parenterally Transmitted Infectious Diseases

Abstract

Currently, donor blood is tested for a limited number of infections - as in most countries of the world, only markers of 5 blood-borne infections (HIV, hepatitis B, C, brucellosis and ulcer) are detected. At the same time, it is known that a large number of pathogens of blood-borne infections associated with various types of microorganisms can be transmitted by blood, its components and preparations: bacteria, viruses, parasites, rickettsiae (1/1 table). In the last decade, the situation regarding infection during blood transfusions has become more complicated due to reports of possible transmission of infectious prion proteins, although retrospective studies from 1995 to 2005 reliably confirmed cases of transmission of the disease according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. not registered in the center.
