Abstract

This case report describes an infrequent occurrence of a 40-year-old asymptomatic male donor who came to give blood for his patient, who was admitted to an ICU. Pre-donation screening via Roche c 404 immunoassays revealed co-infection with three transfusion-transmissible infections: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and plasmodium falciparum. This unexpected combination poses significant health risks, reinforcing the importance of robust TTI screening protocols. The case highlights the need for further research on the prevalence and implications of such co-infections, particularly in regions already burdened by endemic viral illnesses.
