We identified two donations from a single donor containing 120 IU HEV RNA/mL plasma and 490 IU/mL.

متن کاملReducing the risk of hepatitis B virus transfusion-transmitted infection
Before 1970, approximately 6% of multi-transfused recipients acquired a transfusion-transmitted Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The safety improvements since then have been tremendous. From a level of a few infections per 1000 donations, the risk today, depending on the screening algorithm and additional measurements performed, has decreased to around 1:500,000 to 1:1,000,000, an improvement...
