    From July 1983 to January 1984 (7 months) information on AIDS and high-risk groups was given to each blood donor. A total of 139 subjects out of 136 384 (1.02%) declared to belong to such groups. Their blood donations were reserved to research purpose. Anti-HBc antibody was present in 43 subjects (31 %) in a frequency 6 times superior to what observed in an unselected population. Anti-CMV antibody was detected in 73% of these subjects. Both anti-HBc and anti-CMV antibodies were detected in 28% and were not in 24%. Antibody anti-p24 HTLV was never observed. beta 2 microglobuline was in a normal level in 70 of the 71 tested samples (mean 1.3 mg/l).

    Cytomegalovirus Disease

    Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

    Hepatitis

    Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver. The...
