Abstract:
It is a critical strategy for blood safety to screen bloodborne pathogens in blood donors. Although common viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus have been routinely included in the screening category, other unlisted emerging and reemerging viruses, as constant risk factors for transfusion-transmitted infections, are potential threats to blood safety and transfusion medicine. This review focuses on the association of transfusion medicine with emerging and reemerging viral diseases, from definition of post-transfusion infections with emerging and reemerging viruses, incidents of transfusion transmitted viral infections, detecting method, to current challenges. These emerging threats should be comprehensively considered for ad hoc adjustment of blood screening strategies and promoting blood safety in the future.
