Transfusion-Transmitted Cytomegalovirus Infection
Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1995Transfusion-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 ...

The Risk of Transfusion-Transmitted Infection
New England Journal of Medicine, 1992Four key measures help keep the use of blood safe. First, all who prescribe blood should try to limit the frequency of homologous transfusion by responding only to patients' physiologic needs and b...

Risks of transfusion-transmitted infections: 2003
Current Opinion in Hematology, 2003While 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, 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 infections among multi-transfused patients in Brazil
Journal of Clinical Virology, 2005Transfusion-transmitted infections (TTI) continue to be a problem in many parts of the world, and multi-transfused patients (MTP) are at a particularly increased risk of TTI.to estimate the prevalence of TTI among multi-transfused patients in Brazil, and to understand the epidemiological characteristics of TTI among these patients.cross-sectional study

Transfusion-transmitted infections inmulti-transfused patients in Honduras
Journal of Clinical Virology, 2005Monitoring infectivity markers in multi-transfused patients is an important indicator of the efficiency and quality of testing in blood centers. This study is part of a regional initiative to bring both national and regional attention to the problem of hepatitis C, compare the threat of HCV to that of HBV and HIV; assess the risks for viral infection ...

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 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.

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 ...
