چکیده
The incidence of blood-borne viral diseases has decreased over the last several years, but the risk of blood-borne bacterial diseases has remained the same. Bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) is a longstanding problem in transfusion medicine.

Background & Objective: Bacterial, contamination of blood components are a significant risk for transfusion reactions. Inherently, platelet concentrates (PCs) are vulnerable to bacterial contamination, due to the storage condition of processed PCs at room temperature, which provide very suitable conditions for the proliferation of microorganisms....
متن کاملEvaluations of Detection Methods of Bacterial Contamination in Platelet Components
Platelet components (PCs) have widespread applications in clinical cases. Since PCs store in room temperature (between 20-24°C), they are susceptible to bacterial contamination. There are varied approaches for identifying bacterial contamination in PCs. These methods categorized into two groups: Firstly, culture based methods and secondly, non-culture based methods. Both of them have a coup...

Methods Introduced 1995 in acute care, prospective and systematic BSI surveillance at the University of Geneva hospitals was extended to a hospital-wide survey in 2003. Positive blood culture results identified by an electronic automated alert system were individually investigated and allocated to the following categories: contamination, secondary BSI (sBSI), primary BSI (pBSI) and catheter-rel...
