TRANSFUSION TRANSMITTED VIRUS

Transfusion transmitted virus is a recently described virus(123,124). Its epidemiology and disease associations are unknown. Viremia is common(125), but there is no known association with liver disease. There are no commercially available kits to assay for this virus. Therefore, no active attempt at diagnosing this infection is required.
