Medical triumphs in the late 20th century have virtually eliminated known viral risks from blood and blood components, causing the residual risk of transfusion-transmitted disease to predominantly be bacterial or parasitic in nature. This state-of-the-art reference is intended to further reduce risks of bacterial and parasitic contamination of blood. Chapters are composed by recognized leaders in their fields and cover bacteria, syphilis, malaria, Chagas disease and other parasitic infections. Topics include history, pathology and epidemiology of these infections, as well as detection strategies and the potential for pathogen reduction. Emphasis is also placed on bacterial contamination including avoidance, detection, implementation and cost-effectiveness. (AABB Press, 2003, soft cover, 247 pages)
