| Description: |
Explores the potential problem of the transmission of the hepatitis A virus (HAV) through blood transfusions. The study reviews recent evidence of HAV epidemics among haemophiliacs, the natural history of HAV, risk factors for infection, and the FDA's response to these risk factors. |
| Synopsis: |
Until recently, it was believed that transmission of the hepatitis A virus (HAV) was rarely, if ever, a problem linked to blood transfusion. Factors contributing to this belief included the transcience of the viremic period in hepatitis A infection and the absence of a carrier state. In conflict with this view, however, are a number of cases of hepatitis A infection in haemophiliacs reportedly associated with the use of blood products. The possibility of HAV transmission has been recognized by blood banks as a potential problem and is the subject of discussion in this special issue. Epidemics of hepatitis A among haemophiliacs in different European countries are reviewed and evaluated. Also included is a study of the natural history of hepatitis A and risk factors for infection, as well as the FDA perspective and response to the risk of hepatitis A from blood products. The information presented in these contributions and the final discussion should be of interest to haematologists, virologists and blood product manufacturers. |
