Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Universal leucocyte depletion reduces the risk of transfusion transmitted Cytomegalovirus; however, many clinicians still prescribe Cytomegalovirus seronegative units. Our retrospective study aims to confirm the low risk of transfusion transmitted Cytomegalovirus with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/tme.12437
Abstract: Transmission of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) via transfusion (TT‐CMV) may still occur and remains a challenge in the treatment of immunocompromised CMV‐seronegative patients, e.g. after stem cell transplantation, and for low birthweight infants. Measures to reduce… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/trf.14812
Abstract: Transfusion‐transmitted bacterial infections (TTBIs) are the main residual infectious complications of transfusions. Escherichia coli and platelet (PLT) concentrates may be epidemiologically associated, leading to severe, if not lethal, TTBIs. We investigated the genotypic and phenotypic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/trf.16950
Abstract: This study evaluated whether pathogen reduction technology (PRT) in plasma and platelets using amotosalen/ultraviolet A light (A/UVA) or in red blood cells using amustaline/glutathione (S‐303/GSH) may be used as the sole mitigation strategy preventing transfusion‐transmitted… read more here.
