Magnitude and risk factors for cytomegalovirus infection among voluntary blood donors at National Blood Bank, Addis Ababa Ethiopia

Conclusion and RecommendationThe magnitude of CMV is high among voluntary blood donors, and it has no association with transfusion and sexual contact history of donors. Therefore, we recommend CMV screening should be considered while transfusing immunosuppressed individuals, investigation of risk ‐mitigation strategies, such as universal leucoreduction versus selective bed‐side leucoreduction should be considered.
