Co infection VIH/ Syphilis chez les donneurs de sang au CNTS de Bamako, Mali.
Abstract
Transfusion is an essential therapeutic act for the management of many situations in medicine, but it is not without risks and carries high risks of transmission of viral, parasitic and bacterial infections. In order to develop strategies to improve blood safety in Mali, we conducted a retrospective study of 4037 blood donors at the National Blood Transfusion Center (CNTS) in Bamako from September to November 2021. The aim of the study was to determine HIV/AIDS co-infection in blood donors. The search for serological infection markers was carried out by chemiluminescence for the detection of HIV and Syphilis. The device used was the Architecte Plus i1000. The seroprevalence of syphilis was 0.9% (36/4037), while that of HIV was 0.8% (31/4037). HIV/Syphilis co-infection represented 0.4% (17/4037). We conclude that the seroprevalence of HIV/Syphilis co-infection is low at the CNTS in Bamako, however the risk of threat to transfusion safety exists. Therefore, it is imperative to consolidate the achievements and to strengthen the screening capacity for these blood-borne infections in order to ensure optimal blood safety.
