摘要

In Italy, the Istituto Superiore di Sanita (Italian National Institute of Health) coordinates the surveillance system for the screening of the infectious disease markers in blood donations. The system collects data from the Italian Transfusion Services (TS), in collaboration with the regional coordinating centers. The 2006 data were sent by 50.7% of the TS with a 61.6% coverage of the total donations. Incidence (I) and prevalence (P) (x100,000 donations) were calculated for: HIV (I = 2.4; P = 17.2), HBsAg (I = 1.9; P = 287.2), HCV (I = 3.1; P = 201.4) and Syphilis (I = 7.0; P = 121.9). The surveillance system is an efficient instrument for monitoring blood supply safety.
