A prospective study of cryoprecipitate administration: absence of evidence of virus infection.
In a prospective study of cryoprecipitate administration to patients who had never received large pool concentrates, no evidence of hepatitis or HIV infection was detected in a follow up period of one year. Following the introduction of screening of blood donors for anti-HIV in the UK in October 1985 the use of cryoprecipitate in selected cases should be reconsidered.
