Viral safety of blood and its components in modern blood donation – a review
Journal Title: Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
Today, we can observe that blood transfusion is carried out with greater care, which helps to prevent a number of infections in patients. Thus, emphasis is put on non-specific prophylaxis together with regular vaccinations. It is important to stress that blood transfusion is currently developing due to the following proceedings: careful selection of donors, serologic examinations, molecular investigations that check HBV, HCV, HIV, syphilis markers, providing periods for growing plasma and cryoprecipitate, leucoproduction, and common inactivation of patogens in blood components. Nowadays, higher risk of infection can be observed in many non-medical cases (body piercing, tattoos, travelling to hot and exotic countries, regular beauty treatments, etc.). Furthermore, newly selected microorganisms and mutations of popular strains are considered a challenge for contemporary virology, too.
