Serology - anti-HCV. anti-HIV, HBsAg NAT - HCV RNA - since 2000 The current status of HCV, HIV, HBV NAT screening Ewa Brojer Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Warsaw, Poland Serology - anti-HCV. anti-HIV, HBsAg NAT - HCV RNA - since 2000 HIV RNA HBV DNA no anti-HBc 38.5 mln - population 1mln donations/year since 2005
HCV NAT results (March 2000 - Dec 2004)
High frequency of HCV ”window period” donors in Poland (2000-2004)
Study of HCV „window period” donors anti-HCV seroconversion in all donors introduction of epidemiological questionaire to identify the source and date of infection „look back” studies of all repeat donors
HCV RNA detection in “ look back” samples of HCV RNA positive/anti-HCV negative repeat blood donors

Why HBV DNA testing in pools „not larger than 24 donations”? Effectivity of plasma pool Cobas Ampliscreen testing revealed in preliminary study: 2 HBV DNA positives/60 000 dodations tested in 24 donation pools No preliminary studies with TMA single donation testing Higher sensitivity of Cobas Ampliscreen than Chiron TMA Lower price in tenders
