Leukocyte-Reduced Red Blood Cell Transfusions in Patients With Anemia and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Article Abstract:

Blood transfusions given to HIV patients with anemia do not appear to activate HIV or cytomegalovirus, according to a study of 531 HIV patients with anemia. Removing white blood cells from the blood before transfusing it had no beneficial effect.

Effect of a national disaster on blood supply and safety: the September 11 experience

Article Abstract:

The number of first-time blood donors was five times greater in the week after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon than in the four weeks before. This did not substantially increase the risk of contracting an infectious disease linked to blood transfusion. Most of the donors did not become regular blood donors after the attacks.
