Prevention of transfusion‐transmitted cytomegalovirus infection
Transfusion Medicine, 1999Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a double‐stranded DNA virus which can be transmitted by blood transfusion. Its seroprevalence in adults ranges from 40% to 100% depending on geographical and socioeconomic conditions. Seropositive individuals have latent CMV infection with viral DNA present in peripheral blood leucocytes. CMV can be associated with considerable

Transfusion-Transmitted Infection in Hemophilia in Developing Countries
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2005Treatment of patients with bleeding disorders (especially those with hemophilia) with blood products has been associated with infections with blood-borne viruses. Of these, hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV, respectively) and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have created major health problems.

Current risk for transfusion transmitted infections
Current Opinion in Internal Medicine, 2008Blood safety is a topic of continuing concern, and much effort is expended on measures to decrease the risk for transmission of infectious agents via transfusion. At the same time, emerging infections may threaten this safety. A periodic review of risk is therefore appropriate.The risk for major transfusion transmissible infections continues to decline

Transfusion-Transmitted Hepatitis Virus Infection
Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1995For many years, viral hepatitis has been considered to be a frequent and serious adverse outcome of blood transfusion. The majority of cases have been due to hepatitis B and C viruses, which, respectively, are DNA and RNA viruses. Both are lipid enveloped and are susceptible to viral inactivation procedures.

Transfusion‐Transmitted Cytomegalovirus Infections: Significance and Control
Vox Sanguinis, 1986Abstract. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a herpes virus which can give rise to primary infections, reactivated infections, or reinfections in humans. Seroepidemiologic studies have shown CMV infection to be worldwide with the highest antibody prevalences detected in Third World countries; however, significant regional variations can be seen within a given ...

The risk of transfusion‐transmitted infections in sub‐Saharan Africa
Transfusion, 2010BACKGROUND: Blood transfusions carry the risk of transmitting infections. This risk has been studied in detail in high‐income countries but not in sub‐Saharan Africa. This study estimates the risks of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) from a single unit of blood in sub‐Saharan Africa.STUDY

Transfusion Transmitted Bacterial Infection (TTBI)
Transfusion Science, 1993Abstract We have experimentally studied the effect of the presence of leukocytes in newly collected blood on the survival of different bacterial species. The following conclusions can be drawn: 1. (1) Leukocytes have a clearcut protective effect which is, however, not equally strong with all bacterial species. S. epidermidis and E.
