ABSTRACT
: Transfusion transmitted infections (TTI) are a major problem associated with blood transfusion. Although the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections is lower than ever, the supply of blood products remains subject to contamination with known and yet to be identified pathogens. Only proper donor screening, sensitive screening tests and effective inactivation procedures can ensure the reduction and risk of acquiring transfusion transmitted infections. This review, thus addresses the changes that lead to the decreasing prevalence of transfusion transmitted infection in India and also the future strategies to be adopted to eliminate the risk of new inborne pathogens in India.
Keywords : Blood transfusion, Donor screening, Screening test, Inactivation procedures
