Prevalence of viable Chlamydia pneumoniae in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy blood donors.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Parvovirus B19 (B19) is known to cause a variety of human diseases in susceptible individuals by close contact via the respiratory route or by transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products. In this study, whether a case of B19 transmission was causally related to the infusion of implicated lots of a so...
