“…All tests were performed on a panel of 90 samples from patients with clinically characterized borreliosis (53 with neuroborreliosis, 32 with erythema migrans, and 5 with arthritis) plus 70 controls from blood donors and syphilis patients. ELISA based on whole-cell antigens has superior sensitivity and superior negative predictive value and serves as an excellent screening test, although its specificity and positive predictive values are low. …”

“…METHODS: Between 2014 and 2016, all cornea donors that had negative screening serologic results for hepatitis B (HB) surface antigen, HB surface antibody (Ab), hepatitis C virus Ab, human immune deficiency virus Ab, human T-cell leukemia virus Ab, and syphilis, and positive serology for HB core Ab were subjected to real-time PCR with a detection limit of 400 IU/mL to identify HBV DNA. …”

“…In an emergency situation, 41% health workers were willing to transfuse malaria positive blood but only 2%, 4% and 8% were willing to transfuse blood that was positive for HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis respectively. Regular training workshops may help improve the knowledge of health workers as a quarter of workers had not heard about transfusion transmitted malaria and 6.8% did not know that malaria was transmissible by transfusion.…”

A number of not mandatory, but regularly used optional serological tests (e.g. for the detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii, Epstein–Barr virus, human T cell leukemia virus and cytomegalovirus) are also extensively discussed. …”

“…Among the most relevant results up to 2015 are the reduction of infant mortality rate and under-five mortality rate to 4.3 and 5.7 deaths per 1 000 live births, respectively; 5-year survival of 99.4%; more than 10 prenatal check-ups per delivery; 5.3% of low birth weight; 99.9% of institutional births; and being the first country to validate the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS and congenital syphilis. The main challenges are to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding; to reduce anemia due to iron deficiency in children and pregnant women; to reduce overweight in children; to prevent accidents; and to reduce maternal mortality, adolescent fertility rate, and voluntary abortion. …”

“…Interestingly, G6PD-normal vs. deficient blood donors were less likely to have screened positive for hepatitis C virus (p = 0.02) and rapid plasma reagin (indicative of syphilis, p = 0.03). There was no significant difference in hepatitis B sAg, HIV-1, or HIV-2 reactivity between those with vs. without G6PD sufficiency. …”

“…Reevaluation of the deferral from voluntary blood donation by men who have sex with men (MSM) is being discussed in several countries, motivated by the need to ensure a blood supply free from transfusion-transmissible infections (e.g., HIV, syphilis). Policies being considered include: permanent exclusion for any male-male sexual encounter, temporary deferral (3 months, 12 months, 5 years) from the last encounter, or specifying behaviors that differentiate MSM at high risk from those at low risk. …”
