Abstract
To investigate the prevalence of the parvovirus B19 infection among the blood donors in Jilin province to provide the basic data to evaluate the epidemics of B19 virus in China. Indirect ELISA was used to detect IgG antibody against parvovirus B19 in the sera from blood donors. In a total of 184 serum samples, IgG antibody was detected in 55.43% samples, antibody positive rate in female was significantly higher than that in male (P<0.05) and the positive rate peaked at 35-45 years age group. These data illustrate that the prevalence of the B19 antibody in blood donors of Jilin province was high, and it is therefore necessary to detect the B19 DNA to ensure the blood safety.
