11 Lack of correlation between HBsAg and HBV DNA levels in blood donors who test positive for HBsAg and anti-hbc: implications for future HBV screening policy Mary C. Kuhns, Steven H. Kleinman, Anne L. McNamara, Bhupat Rawal, Simone Glynn, and Michael P. BuschFrom Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, Illinois; Westat, Rockville, Maryland; and Blood Systems Research Institute, San Francisco, California BACKGROUND:Studies showing a significant correlation between hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels have focused on the HBV seroconversion window period. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:HBsAg levels relative to HBV DNA results in 200 HBsAg-positive, anti-hepatitis B core antigen (HBc) reactive blood donations were analyzed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (detection limit 400 copies/ml), two research PCR assays with increasing sensitivities (65 copies/ml and 1.3 copies/ml, respectively), and a quantitative HBsAg assay;hbsag and HBV DNA levels were correlated with HBVserologic profiles; and the potential for replacing HBsAg screening with nucleic acid testing (NAT) was analyzed. RESULTS:Serologic profiles for over 90 percent of the donor samples were consistent with chronic HBV infection. Correlation between HBsAg and HBV DNA concentrations was weak (correlation coefficient =0.33). Thirty six percent (72/200) of donor samples had DNA levels under 400 copies per ml. Retesting of the 72 samples by more sensitive PCR assays showed that 60 out of 200 (30%) were positive by PCR with sensitivity of 65 copies per ml, whereas 6 out of 200 (3%) required PCR sensitivity of 1.3 copies per ml for positivity. Three percent (6/200) were negative by all three NAT assays. CONCLUSIONS: HBV DNA levels in HBsAg-positive,anti-HBc reactive blood donations can be extremely low. About 6 percent of donations would be negative by current minipool HBV NAT methods. About 3 percent of donations would remain undetected by sensitive single donor NAT. These results indicate caution in any consideration of dropping HBsAg screening. TRANSFUSION Volume 44, September 2004

27 Exposure of hematologic patients to parvovirus B19 as a contaminant of blood cell preparations and blood products. Plentz A, Hahn J, Knöll A, Holler E, Jilg W, Modrow S. Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene and the Department of Haematology and Oncology, University of Regensburg, Germany. annelie.plentz@klinik.uni-regensburg.de RESULTS: Twenty-one (1%) of 2123 blood products tested positive for the presence of B19 DNA (2% of pooled products, 0.7% of single-donor products, and 17.6% of allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cells), the median viral load was 700 genome equivalents per ml. During the study period, 114 patients were treated on the ward, and 14 (12%) of them received B19 DNA-positive blood components. None of them developed symptoms of an acute B19 infection, although one had a short low-level viremia. CONCLUSIONS: Although B19 DNA was detected in 1 percent of blood products given to hematologic patients, the exposure of 12 percent of patients did not result in symptomatic infections.

Schlumpf,1 Deborah S. Todd,1 Hannah Qiao,1 Mei-ying W. Yu,5 and Michael P. Busch,4,6 for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Retrovirus Epidemiology Donor Study-II (NHLBI REDS-II) 1Westat Inc, Rockville, MD; 2Department of Pathology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC; 3National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Rockville, MD; 4Blood Systems Research Institute, San Francisco, CA; 5Division of Hematology, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, US Food and Drug Administration, Bethesda, MD; and 6Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of California, San Francisco We used a linked donor and recipient repository and a sensitive, quantitative B19V DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to assess such transmissionin B19V-susceptible (ie, anti-b19v immunoglobulin G [IgG] negative) recipients We found no transmission to 24 susceptible recipients from transfusion of components with B19V DNA at concentrations less than 10/6 IU/mL (upper 95% confidence interval, 11.7%). We found an anamnestic IgG response in one pretransfusion seropositive recipient transfused with a component containing greater than 10/10 IU/mL B19V DNA. We assessed 112 B19V DNA positive components from 105 donors (of tested donations) transfuse into a population of surgical patients with a pretransfusion B19V IgG seroprevalence of 78%. These findings show either that transmission from components with less than 10/6 IU/mL does not occur, or, if it does, it is an uncommon event. These data do not support the need to routinely screen blood donations with a sensitive B19V DNA nucleic acid assay. (Blood. 2009;114: )
