Abstract:
A major risk of plasma component therapy was the transmission of infectious diseases. Heat inactivation, TNBP/detergent- or beta-propiolactone/UV-treatment were introduced to reduce the risk of virus transmission, most notably those that cause hepatitis or AIDS. Therefore we discuss topical problems of virus inactivation, particularly for the recently discovered hepatitis C-virus and the well-known parvovirus B19.
