Enhancing blood donor skin disinfection using natural oils.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Specific subsets of peripheral blood WBCs are reservoirs for infectious agents, such as CMV and EBV, and can serve as vectors for transfusion transmission of these agents. While filter WBC reduction has been used to prevent transfusion transmission of infections, its effectiveness has not been documented for...
