Description
Megane D. Malieuze Nanfah and co-authors review infections that blood transfusion can pass on in Cameroon yet screening rules overlook, in a 2026 review. National guidelines cover four classic germs, while endemic germs such as malaria parasites go untested in blood banks. The team pooled rates and medical impact data for these neglected agents.
Eighteen studies covering about 12,500 donations met their criteria, mostly from three regions. Malaria parasites dominated the literature, found in roughly one in six donors in pooled estimates. Dengue virus, toxoplasma, and a filarial worm also appeared. Few studies measured harm to recipients, so the authors press for awareness, better diagnostics, and updated safety rules.
