Mary** Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Does anyone have current statistics for the rate of transmission of infectious diseases (HIV, Hepatitis, etc) from a blood transfusion? References would be nice to have also. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi Mary**,It depends where you are in the world.In the UK, for example, the number of cases of HIV caused by transfusion (once we started screening) is almost nil, but one of my staff members is doing a PhD in Sudan, and there the numbers are frightening.
