Transmission of parasites by blood transfusion.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:National guidelines for monitoring bacterial contamination of blood components were introduced in Germany in 1997. Between 1998 and 2002, numerous measures were implemented to prevent bacterial contamination. This study investigates their impact on contamination rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS:C...
