RESUMEN

Malaria endemic status of our countries supports avoiding malaria screening for the blood qualification. But this attitude makes young children, pregnant women and people without semi-immunity incur a high risk of malaria. The goal of the survey was to value the reality and the importance of transfusion-transmitted malaria and to assess its determining factors. The study included 141 packed-red-cells units transfused to 77 hospitalized recipients, not suffering from malaria and not having been transfused the last two weeks. Every packed-red-cells assigned to a patient was tested for malaria before use. Thick and thin blood film were performed 96hours after transfusion. A clinical follow-up was undertaken as well as in the hospital and at home after release. In all, 13.47% of the transfused packed-red-cells were positive for the thick blood film. Plasmodium research in patients was negative 96hours after transfusion, even in the 19 patients who had received parasitized blood units! The home follow-up had permitted to note that 15.78% of blood recipients had developed clinical malaria. Parasitic density ≥240 parasites/mm(3) seems to be a determining factor. Transfusion-transmitted malaria is a reality we ought to consider. Introduction of malaria screening in donated blood qualification testings simultaneously with a framing of the blood donors appear the lasting solution to hope in the future to limit the waited excessive blood evictions.

RESUMEN

STUDY PURPOSE: The goal of this work is to assess the modalities of blood typing achievement in Benin with the view of their improvement. METHODS: On the basis of a questionnaire including the detailed operative process, a prospective investigation has been achieved in public and private health centers laboratories. RESULTS: It came out that the execution of ABO and Rh blood typing took place globally on the fringe of the standards. We note that 72.4% of the private laboratories and 48.9% of the public ones lacked at least one equipment and 51.3% at least one material for blood withdrawal; 38.2% of the laboratories did not respect blood withdrawal standards; 1.32% of the laboratories applied the 4×2 rule. The assessment revealed that respectively 10.8% and 30.7% of the blood centers and non-blood centers achieved the globular test solely; the same 40.5% and 46.2% used reagents of different brands. Anti-A1 and anti-H sera, and A1 and A2 red cells were not available in any laboratory. More than 64% of laboratories have senior technicians and biomedical analysis engineers but only 6.6% of the laboratories were directed by biologists, and 9.2% of the laboratories function with only one technician. CONCLUSION: Instead of some assets, the laboratories assessment noted important non-conformities we ought to raise as a matter of urgency. It is a challenge whose resolution must give blood transfusion centers a reference position relatively to blood grouping when facing blood typing difficulties.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Previous studies of platelet allele frequencies in Sub-Saharan African populations enabled us to identify discrepancies in HPA-3 typing, suggesting the presence of new mutations and of a greater polymorphism than so far described in other populations. OBJECTIVES: To analyze these discrepancies and to assess the factors leading to potential alloimmunization in these populations. SAMPLES: Maternal samples from a Beninese woman following in utero death and panels of blood donors from Benin, Cameroon, Congo, and Pygmies from Central Africa. TECHNIQUES: Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), PCR-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) and sequencing techniques. RESULTS: Three new mutations were found on GPIIb gene: exon 26 a) 2614C>A situated between HPA-3 and HPA-9w, b) 2645C>T downstream of HPA-3, c) intron 26 IVS26+89G>A. These mutations may lead to discrepant DNA typing results, due either to a localization in the complementary sequence recognized by the primer or to the appearance of a new enzyme restriction site. Furthermore, a bilateral linkage << deletion (Delta9 bp) intron 21 and the HPA-3b allele (exon 26) >> found in Caucasian, Asian, and Oceanian populations is not found in African populations, suggesting that its appearance was prior to HPA-3. CONCLUSION: Three new mutations have been identified, two of them potentially immunogenic through their position. Furthermore, the polymorphism found on intron 26, localized in the complementary sequence of the PCR primer, may lead to a false typing assignation. It is therefore important to diversify techniques, both genomic (PCR-RFLP and PCR-SSP), and proteomic monoclonal antibody-specific immobilization of platelets antigen (MAIPA) to ensure accurate HPA antigenic system typing.
