Abstract

Background: Corona Virus infection is rapidly expanding and has a significant worldwide influence on the status of health and the economic process. Aim: Performing a literature search to investigate possible impacts of transmission of COVID-19 disease through blood transfusion process in health care system, and disease prevalence. Methods: Internet search in scientific publications and collecting data regarding different viral transmission routes, viral detection and disease diagnosis methods, what are the potential problems and risks in COVID-19 management, and COVID-19 protective measures to undertake during blood transfusion. Discussion and Conclusion: Coronavirus spreads mostly by droplets produced by infected persons while coughing, sneezing, or speaking. Different Covid-19 diagnosis methods include Computed Tomography (CT) scan, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, antibody testing (IgG, and IgM), and biochemical tests. Different disease management risks may occur including antibiotic resistance, occupational stress, immune function suppression or dysregulation, pharmacodynamic interactions like prolongation of the QT interval. Although the findings indicated that blood transfusion did not transmitted coronavirus, but protective measures should be undertaken during blood transfusion process in healthcare facilities and blood transfusion centers. This will aid in mitigating viral transmission and associated management risks that may occur.
