A study searching for Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum DNA among blood donors from the non-endemic area in Brazil reported a rate of 7.41%. This number is at least three times higher than what has been observed in blood donors from the Amazon, an endemic area concentrating >99% of all malaria cases in Brazil. Moreover, the majority of the donors were supposedly infected by P. fa…
Although in small numbers, the state of São Paulo presents autochthonous malaria cases. Wherever malaria cases occur, for every symptomatic patient there is a larger number of individuals who are asymptomatic carriers of Plasmodium, in general harboring low parasitemia. In Brazil, blood donors are submitted to some kind of malaria test only when they inhabit or come from the Amazon, so th…
Among all cases of transfusion transmission of infectious agents, bacterial contamination ranks first in the number of cases, morbidity and mortality. Paradoxically, since recently, avoidance of bacterial contamination was never attempted, in contrast to the number of measures taken to prevent the transmission of viruses. Differing from viruses and parasites, the source of bacterial conta…

Patients on chronic transfusion regime, has a high rate of alloimmunization erythrocyte, which is associated with tranfusionais hemolytic reactions. When there is formation of multiple alloantibodies or alloantibodies against high population frequency antigens, only donors with rare or unusual blood phenotypes can meet these receptors. The search for these donors may be performed by serol…
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can cause benign lesions such as skin warts, condylomata, epidermodysplasia; and malignant lesions, especially invasive cervical cancer. According to the World Health Organization estimators, there are more than 500,000 new cases of invasive cervical cancer annually and more than 250,000 deaths, of which 80% occur in developing countries. HPV types that infect t…
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can cause benign lesions such as skin warts, condylomata, epidermodysplasia and malignant lesions, especially invasive cervical cancer. HPV types that infect anogenital region can be classified according to their oncogenic potential into: high-risk and low-risk HPV types. There are descriptions of high-risk HPV types associated with benign lesions, as well as th…
