Malaria transmission cases through transfusions have been described worldwide. In Honduras, two cases through blood transfusion contaminated with P. falciparum have been reported. The current method to diffuse donors with a risk of carrying the parasite is the interview and its sensibility can be improved if a test that allows the detection of the true positives is performed. A sp Plasmodium antigen investigation was conducted to 289 donors in the Hospital San Felipe´s Blood Bank. In order to detect the antigen, the Optimal Diamed quick test and the thick drop smear were performed. Out of 289 donors, in the Optimal Diamed quick test for Plasmodium Falciparum only one was positive (0.34%). In this donor´s thick drop smear was only observed m...
