Abstract:
The issues of bloodborne infection are one of the important problems of modern
transfusiology. According to WHO recommendations, the use of blood from donors who have not
been tested for infections is prohibited. Bloodborne infections include infections of the TORCH group
(Andre J. Nahmias, 1971): T (Toxorlasmosis - toxoplasmosis), O (Other Diseases - other infections,
i.e. chickenpox, ringworm, chlamydia, gonococcal infection, listeriosis, etc.), R (Rubella - rubella),
S (Cytomegaly - cytomegalovirus infection - CMVI) and H (Herpes simplex - infections caused by
herpes simplex types 1 and 2) occupy an important place.Modern laboratory technologies for
diagnosing infectious pathology based on immunochemical research methods make it possible to
assess the presence and level of specific antibodies, which makes it possible to predict the course of
the infectious process and epidemic, its dynamics, assessment and consequences (Adieva A.A. et al.,
2009; Roberts C et al., 2011).
