Abstract

Screening blood donations for anti-HTLV-III with a modification to a commercially available test kit has so far been found satisfactory-the reagent cost is less thatn R1,00 a donation. Should all transfusion services adopt this method, South Africa''s total blood donations could be tested at a cost of about R650 000, instead of R2,7 million or more, a year.
