  • Incubation from 2-14 days
  • 80% of those infected not
    symtomatic
  • 20%: fever, headache, GI
    complaints
  • Donor questionaire about
    fever and headache
  • NAT testing (nucleic acid
    amplification)
37
Q

Directly detects genetic material of viruses.
Reduces “window period” during which an infecting agent is undetectable by traditional tests
Used for WNV, HIV-1 and HCV
Reduced “window period”
for HCV from 70-80 days to 10-30 days
For HIV from 45 days to 10 days

A

NAT

38
Q

CMV detects

A
  • Cytomegalovirus
  • Rarely transmitted by blood
    transfusion
  • According to CDC 50-85% of adults in US are infected by age 40
39
Q

Red cell and platelet products can be CMV-negative by test, or can be

A

CMV-safe by leukoreduction.

40
Q

Donor Questionaire to eliminate infections for which there is no screen

A
  • Babesiosis
  • Malaria
  • Chagas Disease
41
Q

Babesiosis

A
  • Most common in US
  • Bite from infected Deer tick
  • Fever 1-4 weeks after
  • hemolytic anemia
  • renal failure
  • Asymtomatic for months
    while infectious
  • Parasite survives in blood for
    35 days
42
Q

Malaria

A
  • Rare in US
  • Parasite survives for week at 4C
  • Donors can be asymptomatic and infectious
  • Exclude donor for 1 year if travel to endemic area
  • Exclude for 3 years if have had disease or lived in endemic area
43
Q

A

D antigen on their RBC

53
Q

Screening for unusual antibodies that may be present

A
  • Incubate pt serum with RBC
  • Look for hemolysis or agglutination
  • Add anti-IgG to look for those antibodies (ab) that do not cause DIRECT agglutination
54
Q

Positive (agglutination or hemolysis) indicates

A

an existing ab to red cell antigens which may cause transfusion reaction

57
Q

Crossmatched
