Legal, financial, and public health consequences of transfusion-transmitted hepatitis C virus in persons with haemophilia.

abstract：:Blood transfusion practices have evolved empirically, with few or no research data supporting them. In the past several decades, fuelled by fears of infection and reports of mistakes, patients have increasingly demanded their rights to choice, both in the components given to them as well as to refuse to receive these ...
