Re‐entry of donors deferred for false‐reactive screening tests in Canada: 10 years post implementation

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Canadian Blood Services implemented a re‐entry programme in 2014. Donors deferred because of false‐reactive or indeterminate screening tests can provide a specimen for re‐entry testing 6 months after their initial test, and resume donating if they test negative for all infectious markers.

Hepatitis C virus/human T lymphotropic virus 1/2 co-infection: Regional burden and virological outcomes in people who inject drugs

World Journal of Virology, 2016
This review analyses current data concerning co-infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human T lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-1/2 in people who inject drugs (PWID), with a particular focus on disease burden and global implications for virological outcome. In addition, the available treatment options for HTLV-1/2 are summarized and the ongoing and likely

Is the innate bio-protection power against human virus the same between males and females? A conclusion based on blood donor data of HTLV-I infection [PDF]

, 2008
Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus that causes adult T-cell leukemia. The male-to-female transmission is stronger than the reverse, so the carrier proportion of women is greater than that of men.

The efficacy of interactive communication interventions for motivating blood donation: A systematic review

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives The global blood product shortage is a persistent problem that urgently needs addressing. Research has investigated the effects of incentives, different interventions and different modes of communication on promoting blood donation; yet, there has been no systematic review comparing interactive communication–based ...

Infection with human T-lymphotropic virus types-1 and -2 (HTLV-1 and -2): Implications for blood transfusion safety [PDF]

Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2016
Many countries currently perform antibody screening for HTLV-1 infection in blood donors, and this intervention is likely cost-effective in preventing HTLV-1 related diseases in high prevalence countries. However, a number of high-income countries with low prevalence of HTLV-1 infection also perform universal HTLV-1 screening and debate has arisen ...

High Frequencies of Functionally Competent Circulating Tax-Specific CD8+ T Cells in Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type 2 Infection [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2009
Abstract Human T lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2) is characterized by a clinically asymptomatic persistent infection in the vast majority of infected individuals. In this study, we have characterized for the first time ex vivo specific CTL responses against the HTLV-2 Tax protein. We could detect CTL responses only against a single HLA-

Laboratory Abnormalities in Former Blood Donors Seropositive for Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Types 1 and 2

Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, 2000
Abstract Context.—The human T-lymphotropic viruses types 1 and 2 (HTLV-1 and HTLV-2) are highly prevalent among injection drug users in the United States. However, the clinical course of infection has not been well characterized. Objective.—To understand HTLV-1–and HTLV-2–associated laboratory abnormalities, which may ...
