Human herpesvirus 8 transfusion transmission in Ghana, an endemic region of West Africa.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mobilized peripheral blood is the most common source of CD34+ cells intended for transplantations. The collection and enrichment of CD34+ cells could be affected by various factors and there are some controversies regarding the effects of patient-related factors. The aim of this study was to assess the impac...
