Description
Because of the importance of blood borne infections, the German Advisory Committee Blood (Arbeitskreis Blut) established a special working group dedicated to compiling and updating information on infectious agents transmitted by blood. This issue contains all articles on transfusion-transmitted pathogens published by the Arbeitskreis Blut between 1998 and 2005. It also includes two recent articles of Q-fever (Coxiella burnetii) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The collection of articles covers both viral and bacterial agents and, of course, prion diseases.
