Abstract

The safety in the blood transfer is important for the receiver remains free of risks or, that is why serological and immunohematological evaluation is essential. The aim was to analyze the serological profi le of blood donors in a Blood Center in the inland of Ceará. It was a retrospective, transversal, and documentary study. The records of blood donors with serological changes of all age groups of both gender, donating blood in the year 2017, were included. There were 19043 donations, with negative serology of 98.59%, positive serology of 1.09%, and undetermined serology of 0.32%. Among the positive serological results, the students prevailed in the occupation corresponding to 14.90%, while hepatitis B and syphilis corresponded to 33.33% each, followed by Chagas disease (12.04%), hepatitis C (9.72%), HIV (5.56%), and HTLV (5.56%). The age group with the highest frequency in serology positivity was between 19 and 41 years old, representing 74.51%. As for indeterminate serology, it was necessary to repeat the tests for Chagas disease, hepatitis B and C, HIV, HTLV, and syphilis. However, 34 donors did not return, and among those who returned, 15 remained undetermined, ten negative and two positive, hepatitis B and HTLV. Therefore, it was possible to determine the occurrence of positive serologies of blood donations, being necessary, even with the low values, the accomplishment of health campaigns in order to reduce the incidence and thus saving lives.
