Accuracy of hepatitis C virus core antigen testing in pools among seroconverters.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) has been identified as a pivotal reason for prestorage universal WBC reduction. A regional blood center implemented universal prestorage WBC reduction for RBCs on January 1, 2000. Whether prestorage universal WBC reduction of RBC units will affect FNHTR is no...

Studies have shown that the transfusion of HLA and HNA antibodies in donor plasma can lead to TRALI. Female donors are more likely to have such antibodies due to alloantigen exposure during pregnancy. Many blood su...
