PREVALENCE OF TRANSMISSIBLE AGENTS BY TRANSFUSION AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS IN A BLOOD BANK FROM CÓRDOBA-COLOMBIA 2014-2016. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.2, pp.297-308.

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 associated 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 Córdoba-Colombia 2014-2016. A prevalence study was carried out in all blood bank donors, the global prevalence of reactivity 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 prevalence 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 Lymphotropic Virus 0.08%, Hepatitis C Virus 0.04% and Plasmodium spp. 0% .In the overall prevalence, T. pallidum infections, 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 research and epidemiological surveillance interventions.
