A Transfusion transmitted infection TTI is a virus , parasite , or other potential pathogen that can be transmitted in blood donation donated blood through a Blood transfusion transfusion to a recipient. The term is usually limited to known pathogens, but also sometimes includes agents such as Simian foamy virus which are not known to cause disease. Preventing the spread of these diseases by blood transfusion is addressed in several ways. In many cases, the blood is tested for the pathogen, sometimes with several different methodologies. Donors of blood are also screened for signs and symptoms of disease and for activities that might put them at risk for infection. If a local supply is not safe, blood may be imported from other areas. Human immunodeficiency virus HIV leads to the best known of the transfusion transmitted diseases, acquired immune deficiency syndrome AIDS . Blood that is processed into medications by fractionation is treated in a multi step process called pathogen inactivation that is analogous to pasteurization it destroys most viruses and bacteria in the blood. Donors are still screened and tested. Viruses The most common diseases transmitted in blood transfusions are viral infections. Many of these viruses are controlled through laboratory screening tests. These fall into three basic varieties EIA antibody tests , nucleic acid tests NAT , and surrogate tests. Antibody tests look for the Adaptive immune system immune system s response to the infection.

The virus is extremely common, even in healthy individuals &mdash as much as 100 prevalent in some countries, and in approximately 10 of blood donors in the UK and the US.
