• W2900302534 abstract "Malaria is one of the transfusion transmissible infections in malaria endemic countries such as Ghana. Healthy blood donors may harbour Plasmodium parasites without showing signs of malaria. Blood from such donors constitutes a risk to transfusion recipients and the recipients of this blood may go on to develop transfusion transmitted malaria (TTM). In many malaria endemic countries, blood donors are not screened for Plasmodium parasites. We investigated the prevalence of Plasmodium in blood donors in a hospital in Ghana as well as evaluate health workers knowledge, attitude and practices towards TTM. The study was carried out at the Kwadaso Seventh Day Adventist Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana from September 2016 to May 2017. Blood samples from 100 blood donors and 100 non-donors were examined for Plasmodium using microscopy and a rapid diagnostic test (RDT). In addition the blood groups of participants were determined. To obtain information concerning knowledge, attitude and practices of transfusion transmitted malaria, questionnaires were administered to 100 health workers including doctors, nurses and laboratory technicians. The prevalence rate of Plasmodium parasitaemia in blood donors by RDT and microscopy was 8% and 3% respectively, compared to non-donors who had a prevalence of 5% and 2% by RDT and microscopy respectively. Out of 100 health workers surveyed, 26% (26/100) had never heard of transfusion transmitted malaria. 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." @default.
