Seroprevelance of Dengue Among Healthy Blood Donors in Blood bank.
Among the samples 18/232 (7.75%) were found IgM positive and 25/232 (10.77%) were found IgG positive. Similarly, 12/232 (5.17%) showed both IgG and IgM positive; however, all sample tested negative for NS1 Conclusions: Detection of Dengue antibodies in asymptomatic blood donors in endemic areas indicates a potential risk for recipients to contract dengue infection through blood transfusion. Implementing a screening program during dengue outbreaks could effectively mitigate this risk.
