Transfusion-Transmitted Bacterial Infection

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1995
Transfusion-transmitted bacterial infection is a persistent but often underemphasized problem facing transfusion medicine today. The present status of bacterial contamination of red cells, platelet products and plasma, frequency of contamination, and types of organisms implicated is reviewed.

Transfusion-Transmitted Cytomegalovirus Infection

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1995
Transfusion-associated cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised seronegative patients. Seronegative blood products reduce the incidence of infection to less than 7%. Filtered blood may be an effective alternative to seronegative blood products for prevention of transfusion-associated ...

Risks of transfusion-transmitted infections: 2003

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2003
While the risks of transfusion-transmitted human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, and human T-cell leukemia virus I/II continue to decrease, additional threats to transfusion safety are posed by emerging "new" infectious diseases.Following the introduction of nucleic acid testing for human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus, the ...

Prevention of transfusion‐transmitted cytomegalovirus infection

Transfusion Medicine, 1999
Cytomegalovirus (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, 2005
Treatment 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, 2008
Blood 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, 1995
For 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.
