- W2040455281 abstract "The risk of transfusion of malaria parasite was studied in 500 blood donors in four major hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria. Blood donors within the age range of 18 – 50 were screened for malaria parasite between January and August 2004. Of these 82 (16.4%) were positive for malaria parasite with P. falciparum accounting for 73 (89%) and P. malariae 9 (11%). More males 54 (65.8%) were infected than the female 28 (34%) (P>0.05). The relationship between heamoglobin genotype and infection rate was also determined. Donors with heamoglobin genotype AA were the most infected 113 (47.48%), followed by AC heterologous donors accounting for 40 (27.97%), while the least infected donors were those with hemoglobin genotype AS. This study also gives a fair representative degree of sub clinical infection rate, since donors are usually judged to be healthy. It is therefore recommended that as a duty and routine it is imperative to screen blood for infectious agents, such as malaria parasite before transfusion to avoid malaria infection of otherwise aneamic patients.
