title: [Prevalence and incidence of infections among blood donors in Astana].
abstract: The prevalence and incidence of infections among 28,248 blood donors in Astana in 2012 was determined. The estimated residual risk of the transfusion infection was as follows: for HIV--1,2, HCV--137,7, HBV--125,4 per 1 million donations. High risk of transfusion infection with HIV, hepatitis B, and C stimulates the active implementation of the measures for increasing the safety of blood: the selection of donors, increasing the sensitivity of infections screening methods, inactivation of pathogens in blood components and transfusion management appointment at the clinic.
