title: [HIV-1 infection in blood donors and blood recipients].
abstract: The results of the tests on HIV-1 infection in blood donors in the years 1985-1989 were presented. Out of 3.222.345 serum samples, in 66 donors HIV-1 antibodies were detected. In 1989 the significant raise of HIV-1 carriers, among whom there were 17 intravenous drug users, was noticed. The transmission of HIV-1 infection to 9 blood recipients was proved. Medical examination of 20 infected blood donors revealed in all of them the enlargement of peripheral lymph nodes. In 8 donors candidosis of oral cavity was diagnosed. The undertaken analysis showed the low efficacy of self deferral and pointed out that medical examination before blood donation should be more carefully done.
