Abstract:
【Objective】 To investigate the epidemiology of HTLV by conducting HTLV nucleic acid detection among voluntary blood donors, so as to provide basis for the decision making of blood screening strategy. 【Methods】 The HTLV blood nucleic acid(NAT) screening platform was established based on the existing NAT for HBV / HCV / HIV screening. HTLV (type 1 + 2) detection was carried out in 5 368 blood donors, and the results were analyzed. 【Results】 No NAT-yielding of HTLV- 1, -2 type was found in a total of 5 368 voluntary blood donor from January to August 2019. 【Conclusion】 Qianxinan, currently, is very low epidemic or non epidemic as none of HTLV infections was found among blood donors and no significant differences in the epidemiology of HTLV were notable between the counties and cities. It, however, still needs further investigation in the future.
