Background Bacterial contamination of blood components (notably platelets) remains a leading infectious risk to the blood supply. There has been extensive research in high‐income countries to characterize the risk of bacterial contamination along with adoption of strategies to mitigate that risk. By contrast, related data in Africa are lacking. Study Design and Methods An electronic survey was distributed to members of African Society of Blood Transfusion to assess existing or planned measures at African blood centers and hospitals to mitigate bacterial contamination of blood products. A literature review of studies pertaining to related transfusion‐associated risk in Africa was conducted to complement the findings. Results Forty‐five responses were received, representing 16 African countries. All respondents were urban, either in blood centers (n = 36) or hospital‐based transfusion services (n = 9). Reported measures included skin disinfection (n = 41 91.1%); diversion pouches (n = 14 31.1%); bacterial culture (n = 9 20%); pathogen reduction (PR) (n = 3 6.7%); and point‐of‐release testing (PoRT) (n = 2 4.4%). Measures being considered for implementation included: skin disinfection (n = 2 4.4%); diversion pouches (n = 2 4.4%); bacterial culture n = 14 (31.1%); PR (n = 11 24.4%); and PoRT (n = 4 8.9%). Of the 38 respondents who reported collection of platelets, 14 (36.8%) and 8 (21.1%) reported using diversion pouches and bacterial culture, respectively. The literature review identified 36 studies on the epidemiology of bacterial contamination and septic transfusion reactions in Africa; rates of contamination ranged from 0% to 17.9%. Conclusions The findings suggest that prevention of bacterial contamination of blood components and transfusion‐associated sepsis in Africa remains neglected. Regional preventive measures have not been widely adopted.
