Abstract
Prevalence of Virological Markers HIV, HBV and HCV in Homozygous Sickle Cell Patients at Brazzaville University Hospital
Highlights
Blood transfusion is a potentially life-saving intervention that plays an essential role in the management of patients in health care systems [1]
The results showed that the indications for blood transfusion were: acute crises of anemia due to malaria and in some cases of Vaso-Occlusive Crises (VOC) resistance to analgesic treatment
Transfusion safety is achieved through good transfusion practices and the qualification of blood donations
Summary
Blood transfusion is a potentially life-saving intervention that plays an essential role in the management of patients in health care systems [1]. Screening for infectious agents is a very important step in the process of biological qualification of blood donations in virology. It contributes to the prevention of transmission of viral diseases following blood transfusion or its derivatives in the population [6]. The feared silent window in infections (HIV, HBV and HCV) has been significantly reduced by the introduction of many reagents on the market [15] [16] [17]
