CMV

The prevalence of CMV infection among donors is very high (approaching 100% in many series). CMV infection represents a major clinical risk mostly for immunocompromised recipients and neonates. Leukocyte filters can reduce the risk of transmission.

HTLV-I, -II
Very rare (1/514,000â€"2,993,000 units transfused). Use of leukocyte filters can further decrease risk of transmission.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18

Mike, that's the reason why patients receiving organ donation are given prophylactic ANTIBIOTICS (usually: AMOXICILLIN, CEPHALOSPORIN, VANCOMYCIN, TRIMETHOPRIM SULFAMETHAXAZOLE) prior to surgery. In case of CMV, patients are also given a bolus of ANTI-VIRAL medication prophylactically (usually: GANGCYCLOVIR, ZIDOVUDINE, RIBAVIRIN).

The administration of prophylactic drugs significantly reduces the incidence of surgery-related bacterial and viral infection.
