The prevalence of transfusion-transmitted infections and nucleic acid testing among blood donors in Majmaah, Saudi Arabia

Few studies discussed the prevalence of TTIs in Saudi donor blood samples. Thus, this study investigated the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV), syphilis and malaria in such samples to determine the efficacy of conducting serological and NATs on blood donors at King Khalid General Hospital in Majmaah, Saudi Arabia.
