摘要

To the Editor: Assurance of blood safety relies on effective public health surveillance for infectious diseases. Appropriate management of emerging disease threats requires that this surveillance be combined with screening measures to eliminate or minimize the risk of transmitting transfusion- associated disease. Diseases with a long and relatively asymptomatic period (malaria) during which microorganisms are present in the blood are of particular concern for transfusion safety. Many reports have shown that falciparum malaria can remain in the bloodstream for a long time (even years) as an asymptomatic infection (1). Parasitic contamination of donated blood can occur only if the donor has parasitemia, usually asymptomatic, at the time the blood is collected. In accordance with legislation of the European Community and the United States, travelers who have visited malaria-endemic areas may be accepted as regular blood donors 6 months after return to the nonendemic area, providing they have been free of unexplained febrile illnesses and have not taken antimalarial drugs (2,3). Immigrants or visitors from endemic areas may donate blood 3 years after they leave the area if they have been asymptomatic in the interim. Donations to be used for the preparation of plasma, plasma components, or derivatives devoid of intact erythrocytes are exempt from these restrictions.
