Bacterial contamination of blood components
Bacterial contamination of blood components is a persistent but often overlooked problem in transfusion medicine. Although public attention has focused on transfusion-transmitted viral infection, improved methods of screening through donor questioning and testing have greatly reduced the transmission of hepatitis viruses and retroviruses. Given the reduction of viral transmission via allogeneic...
متن کاملBacterial contamination of blood components.
Blood for transfusion is a potential source of infection by a variety of known and unknown transmissible agents. Over the last 20 years, astounding reductions in the risk of viral infection via allogeneic blood have been achieved. As a result of this success, bacterial contamination of blood products has emerged as the greatest residual source of transfusion-transmitted disease. This paper summ...
متن کاملEvaluations of Detection Methods of Bacterial Contamination in Platelet Components
Platelet components (PCs) have widespread applications in clinical cases. Since PCs store in room temperature (between 20-24°C), they are susceptible to bacterial contamination. There are varied approaches for identifying bacterial contamination in PCs. These methods categorized into two groups: Firstly, culture based methods and secondly, non-culture based methods. Both of them have a coup...

Reports from studies conducted in several countries indicate a high incidence of bacterial contamination of donor blood. The prevalence of bacterial contamination of blood and its products in Ghana is not known. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of bacterial contamination of blood and its products at the three major blood transfusion centers in the Greater Accra Region of Gha...
متن کاملBacterial contamination of cellular blood components. A retrospective review at a large cancer center.
Concern over increased bacterial contamination prompted us to conduct a retrospective review of all bacterial cultures performed on cellular blood components at our institution between December 1989 and June 1993. Sterility checks were accomplished by using the Bactec blood culture system. The breakdown of the units cultured versus units produced was as follows: Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs): ...
