[Cost of transfusion in AIDS. Experience at the Claude-Bernard Hospital apropos of 28 cases].
The study of 28 confirmed cases of AIDS shows that transfused patients use a large amount of hospital's blood products, especially platelets. For these patients, the average cost of transfusion is higher than that, for intensive care unit patient's. The use of irradiated products increases the cost (+ 35%). As there is a shortage of donors, if the present precautions are respected, there is no reason why the hospital should not continue to ask the patient's family and circle of friends, to donate blood.
