  1. The infectious diseases transmitted by blood transfusion: Introduction. Criteria for blood donation. How much blood can be taken during blood donation? Factors that play a role in establishment of blood transfusion infection. The infectious microbes that transmitted by blood transfusion: 1- HIV 2-HTLV 3-Hepatitis B and C 4-Cytomegalovirus (CMV) 5-Epstein-Barr virus. 6-Human Parvovirus (B19) 7-Human Herpesvirus 8. 8- Bacterial contamination. 9-Syphilis 10-Malaria.

  2. Introduction: Blood transfusion is the process of receiving blood products into one's circulation intravenously. Transfusions are used in a variety of medical conditions to replace lost components of the blood such as: 1-Inherited blood diseases: Thalassemia, Hemophilia, and Sickle cell anemia. 2- Hemolytic anemia of newborn. 3- Bleeding : Post –traumatic, or operative. 4- Malignancy: Leukemia. 5- Other conditions: hepatic coma, kidney failure.

  3. Criteria for blood donation: Potential donors are evaluated for Recipient and Donor safety according to the following criteria: 1- Age: 18-55 years old. 2-Weight: 50 Kg or above. 3- Pulse Rate: Normal. Body temperature: Normal. Blood pressure: Normal. Hemoglobin concentration: Normal. 4-The Medical History: Epilepsy, Psychotic disorders, abnormal bleeding tendencies, Thalassemia, Sickle cell anemia, malignancy are permanently unfit for blood donation. 5- Infection: HIV, Hepatitis, Malaria, syphilis.

  4. How much blood can be taken during blood donation? The amount of blood drawn varies from 200milliliters to 550milliliters depending on the country, but 450-500milliliters is typical. The blood is usually stored in a flexible plastic bag that also contains sodium citrate, phosphate, dextrose, and sometimes adenine.

  5. Factors that play a role in establishment of blood transfusion infection: 1- Viral Window Period. The window period is the period between the onset of viral infection and the appearance of detectable antibodies to the virus. Antibodies are produced from about three weeks after infection and usually become detectable by four to six weeks after infection. This four- to six-week period between infection and a positive test is called the window period. 2-The Genetic Vertical transmission of viruses. 3- Donorimmunestatus(Asymptomatic immuno-competent patients). 4-Laboratory and personal error. 5-Bacterialcontamination.

  6. The infectious microbes that transmitted by blood transfusion: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Classification: HIV is a member of the genus Lentivirus, part of the family of Retroviridae. Lentiviruses are transmitted as single-stranded,positive-sense, envelopedicosahedralRNA viruses measuring 80–120nm in diameter. Two types of HIV have been characterized: HIV-1 and HIV-2.

  7. The HIV replication cycle: Upon entry into the target cell, the viral RNA genome is converted into double-strandedDNA by a virally encoded reversetranscriptase. The resulting viral DNA integrated into the cellular DNA by a virally encoded integrase. Once integrated, the virus may become latent, Alternatively, the virus may be transcribed, producing new RNA genomes and viral proteins.

  8. Transmission of HIV: HIV could be transmitted by the following routes: 1- Blood transfusion:(Estimated infections (risk) per 10,000 exposures to an infected source= 9,000 (90%)1 ). New estimated rate in Canada=1 per 1.3 million donation. 2- Mother-to-child, including pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding: (Estimated infections(risk) per 10,000 exposures to an infected source= 2,500 (25%)2 ). 3- Sexual transmission: (Estimated risk from 0.11-1.7%)3,4. 4- Needle-sharing injection drug use:Estimated risk=67 (0.67%)5 . 5- Percutaneous needle stick: Estimated risk= 30 (0.30%)6 . 6- Tissue transplantation.

  9. Human T-LymphotropicViruses (HTLV) type I and type II: HTLV is a human RNADeltaretrovirusthat is known to cause adultT-cellleukemia and lymphoma. The Viral genes, particularly the tax gene, are activating a variety of host cell genes;interleukin-2 (IL-2) and its receptors (IL-2Rα) genes. The lymphokine activity places the infected cell in an uncontrolled autocrine mode of growth. Virology: - Single stranded RNA enveloped virus. Three major genes: gag (structural protein), pol (reverse transcripatse), and env(envelope glycoproteins). - Classification: Retroviruses;subfamily:Deltaretrovirus.

  10. Transmission of HTLV: HTLV-I appears to be transmitted by: 1- Sexual route. 2- Blood transfusion. 3- Vertical transmission. 4- Breast-feeding. Epidemiology: It is endemic in Southern Japan (15-30%), Caribbean (3-6%), Guinea and some parts of Africa. Laboratory diagnosis: The risk has been estimated to be 1 in 1.3 million donations in Canada (1),following the implementationofPCR for detection of provirus genome. Anti-HTLVantibodies could be detected by ELISA.

  11. Hepatitis B Virus: Virology: Doublestranded circular DNA virus. The virus is one of the smallest enveloped animal viruses, with a viriondiameter of 42nm. Pleomorphic forms exist, including filamentous and spherical bodies lacking a core. These bodies are noneinfectious lipids and proteins that form the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Classification: Hepadnaviridae.

  12. Transmission: 1- Sexual Route. 2- Vertical Route: Transmission of virus from mother to child during childbirth. or: transmission of virus by means of genetic apparatus of a cell in which the viral genetic material is integrated. 3- ParenteralRoute: Blood transfusion and contaminated syringes. In Canada, It has been estimated that the risk was 1 in 89,000 donations and came primarily from donations collected during the window period1 . Diagnosis: HBsAg test by ELISA. anti-HBcAgIgM antibodies ELISA.

  13. Hepatitis C virus: Virology: Small (50 nm in size), enveloped, single-stranded, positive sense RNAvirus. Classification: Member of the hepacivirusgenus in the family Flaviviridae. Transmission: Blood-to-blood contact: In developedcountries, it is estimated that 90% of persons with chronic HCV infection were infected throughtransfusion of unscreenedblood or blood products or via injecting drug use or sexualexposure (1,2).

  14. A In developingcountries, the primary sources of HCV infection are unsterilized injectionequipment and infusion of inadequately screened blood and bloodproducts. Hepatitis C transmission in developed countries.

  15. Epstein - Barr virus: (E.B Virus): Virology: -Large double stranded DNA. -Enveloped Icosahedral virus. -Derives envelope from nuclear membrane -Forms intracellular inclusion bodies. -Establishes Latency. Transmission: 1-Direct person-person contact (Saliva). 2- Blood transfusion: 90% of the adult population is seropositive.

  16. Pathogenesis : E.B virus infects nasopharyngealepithelial cells, salivary and lymphoid tissues. The virus binds to CD21 of B-Lymphocytes and acts as mitogen. This will stimulate the production of atypicalreactiveTcell (Downeycells=70% of the total WBC count).

  17. E.B virus Diseases and malignancies: Diseases : 1- Heterophile positive mononucleosis (kissing disease): fatigue, fever, sore throat, lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly. 2- Lymphoproliferativedisease: uncontrolled B-Cell growth in immunocompromised patients. Malignancies: 1-Burkitt lymphoma. 2- Nasopharyngeal carcinoma. 3-Hodgkin lymphoma. Diagnosis (serology): Anti-E.B virus IgM antibodies examined by ELISA test.

  18. Cytomegalovirus (CMV): Virology: belongs to the Herpesviridae family such as E.B. Virus. Transmission: Saliva, sexual, Parenteral, in Utero. Pathogenesis: -CMV infects the salivary gland epithelial cells, and establishes a persistent infection in fibroblasts, epithelial cells, and macrophages. -Latency in mononuclear cells. -Approximately 50% to 80% of the adult population are infected with the virus. Disease:( in immunocompromised individuals) 1- Cytomegalic inclusion disease. jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, pneumonitis, CNS damage to death. 2- Mononucleosis. 3- Interstitial pneumonitis to severe systemic infection (immunocompetentpateints : AIDS, Tissue transplant).

  19. Parvovirus B19: Virology: -Single stranded linear- DNA virus, Naked, and icosahedral. Transmission: respiratory, vertical (from mother to child), blood transfusion. This virus has been transmitted to patients with hemophilia through infusion of clotting factors (factor VIII and factor IX)1 . Pathogenesis: It infects immature erythroid progenitor cells, resulting in cell lysis. The resulting anemia is clinically significant in patients with sickle cell anemia. Disease: In children and adults: fifth disease; erythema infectiosum. In fetus: severe anemia.

  20. Human Herpes Virus 8 (HHV-8): Transmission: Sexual contact, Saliva, vertical, transplantation. Pathogenesis: HHV-8 has a gene that turns on vascularendothelialgrowth factor (VEGF), which plays a direct role in the development of KaposiSarcoma. Disease: Kaposi Sarcoma. Diagnosis: 1- Serology –ELISA. 2- Molecular genetics : PCR.

  21. The Bacterial contamination: Transfusion Transmitted bacterial reaction has been identified as the most common and severe infectious complication associated with transfusion. Approximately 57% of all Transfusion Transmitted infections and 16% of transfusion-related deaths have been associated with bacterial contamination (1). It has been estimated that 1 in 38,500 units of red cells, 1 in 3,300 units of random donor platelets, are contaminated with bacteria (1).

  22. Treponema pallidium: Transmission: sexually, transplacental, vertical, blood transfusion (Rare; 6 in million blood donation (1)). Bacteriology: -Thin spirochete; Basically it has Gram’s negative cell envelope. -Axial filaments present (endoflagella). -Can not be cultivated in vitro; sero-diagnosis. -Obligate pathogen (but not intracellular). Pathogenesis: Primary: genital chancre of skin. Tertiary: CNS and cardiovascular infection.

  23. a Diagnosis: 1-Direct: examination of microbe by Darkfield or immunofluorescentmicroscopy. 2-Indirect: Serology: A-Nontreponemal antibodies (non-specific): looking for Anti- Cardiolipin antibodies in patient serum by VDRL or RPR test. Venereal disease research laboratory or RPR Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) tests. B- Treponemal antibodies (specific): looking for anti-treponema antibodies by TPHA or FTA. - T. pallidumhaemagglutination assay (TPHA). - Flurescenttreponemal antibody (FTA).

  24. Malaria: It has been estimated that about 300-500 million people are infected, and over 1 million people die from this disease each year. Transmission: Horizontal (bite of infected female Anophelesmosquito), Transplacental, and Blood transfusion (asymptomatic donors). Microbiology: - Etiology: Plasmodium species: (P. vivax,P. malariae,P .ovale,P. falciparum ). - Classification: Sporozoa. Man is intermediate host( Asexual stage of microbe= Schizogonycycle) Anopheles is the definitive host (sexual stage = Sporogony cycle) .
