BACKGROUND: Members of armed forces worldwide are considered to be very
susceptible to sexually transmitted infections, thus falling into a high-risk
group of blood donors regarding transfusion-transmissible infections. In the
Serbian Military Medical Academy a significant number (44% for the period
2005-2013) of blood donations were from members of the Serbian Army. The aim of
this study was to determine the significance of military blood donors for the
safety of blood transfusion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between January 2005 and
December 2013, a total of 155,479 blood donations were tested for hepatitis B
virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and
syphilis using serological assays (enzyme immunoassays, chemiluminescent
microparticle immunoassay and western blot) and molecular testing (polymerase
chain reaction analysis). RESULTS: The percentage of blood donations positive for
transfusion-transmissible infections in the estimated period was 0.38%, and the
percentage of HBV, HCV, HIV and syphilis positive blood donations was 0.20%,
0.12%, 0.005% and 0.06%, respectively. During that period, the percentage of all
transfusion-transmissible infections, and in particular of HBV and HCV, declined
significantly. In contrast, the percentage of HIV and syphilis positive blood
donations remained unchanged. Higher rates of positivity for
transfusion-transmissible infections in blood donations from members of the
Serbian Army were not found, especially after mandatory military service was
abolished in 2009. DISCUSSION: The reported rate of positivity for
transfusion-transmissible infections in blood donations from the Military Medical
Academy was considered low. This information is of great significance for further
implementation of public health measures.
