External quality control program in infectious diseases screening at laboratories and blood banks in Latin America
Objective. To evaluate the screening of blood samples for infectious disease markers at laboratories and blood banks in Latin America per the findings of an External Quality Assessment Program (EQAP). Methods. This qualitative analysis used data from the EQAP coordinated by the Fundação Pro Sangue Hemocentro de São Paulo with the support of the Pan American Health Organization to assess the performance of blood screening for infectious diseases f…
Evaluation of the concomitant use of two different EIA tests for HIV screening in blood banks
Our data do not support the use of two different, concomitant EIA screening tests for HIV. The great majority of HIV-positive donors have already seroconverted and will be detected using only a single EIA screening test. Only persons who are going through the process of seroconversion may be missed by using a single EIA test and detected using two EIAs for screening. To screen out these individuals and decrease the residual risk of HIV transmissi…
Descarte de bolsas de sangue e prevalência de doenças infecciosas em doadores de sangue da Fundação Pró-Sangue/Hemocentro de São Paulo
The decrease in the discarding of blood units and in infectious diseases among donors at the Blood Center of São Paulo reflects the increase in the Center's percentage of repeat donors
Programas de control externo de la calidad en serología desarrollados en América Latina con el apoyo de la OPS entre 1997 y 2000
These results show the need for PAHO to continue using these external quality control programs as well as other activities in order to strengthen the procedures for serological screening blood banks in Latin America, until there is more uniformity in the procedures that the countries use
