Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Swiss Transplant Recipients: Seroprevalence, Incidence, and the Role of Transfused Blood Products

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
HEV epidemiology in solid organ (SOT) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (allo‐HSCT) transplant recipients in Switzerland between 2010 and 2017. HEV RNA incidence is more than 20‐fold higher in the transplant cohort than in Swiss blood donors. Although most infections were likely of dietary origin, one transfusion‐transmitted HEV case was detected.

Motives and barriers to blood donation among adults aged over 50 years: A qualitative analysis

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ageing populations will increase demand for blood‐products and donors who supply them. While blood collection agencies (BCAs) typically target younger people to expand supply, recruiting donors aged 50+ is also a potential solution. However, few studies focus exclusively on this group.

Indian Journal of Medical Ethics, 2008
The National Blood Policy of India, 2002, advocates the disclosure of results of transfusion transmitted infections (TTI) to blood donors. However, in the absence of well-defined notification processes, and in order to avoid serious consequences resulting from unguided disclosure, blood bank personnel discard blood that is TTI-positive.

Transfusion-Transmitted Retrovirus Infection

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1995
This article reviews the history, classification, and disease associations of the known human retroviruses and outlines their profound effects on the practice of transfusion medicine.
