Extensive measures are taken to ensure that blood transfusion poses a minimal
microbiological hazard to recipients. Transfusion Microbiology is the definitive text
on all aspects of transfusion transmitted infections. This comprehensive text covers
all medical, scientific, technical and developmental aspects of this critically
important sector of transfusion medicine. A detailed discussion of all infective agents,
donor issues, testing and pathogen inactivation is provided. Agents causing major
concern recently, such as vCJD, are considered in the context of historical experience
with agents such as HIV. All aspects of risk assessment, regulation, cost benefit
analysis and quality management are reviewed. Relevant to blood transfusion centres,
hospital transfusion laboratories, haematologists and microbiologists, medical,
scientific and technical staff, universities and general training programmes worldwide,
Transfusion Microbiology provides an up-to-date resource for all practitioners and
researchers involved in transfusion medicine.
