Abstract:
Objective To probe into the significance and role of double testing of blood for virus markers.Methods The data on the results of routine blood testing at some blood centers in China from July to December,1999 were gathered and analysed.The blood donors with inconsistent results during the double testing were followed up and their blood samples were collected at least half a year later.Nucleic acid amplification testing(NAT) was performed on the samples.Results Only 0.63% of the donors showed inconsistent results during the double testing.Most of the positive results were false positive.Conclusion The double testing currently implemented does not help significantly improve the quality of the blood supply.It is important to enhance blood safety further by improvement of quality of the reagents and introduction of NAT.
