Safety and quality criteria for autologous blood donations. Committee for Virus Safety of the Society for Virology.
The authors discuss the quality control criteria for autologous blood donations. They recommend that all autologous donations be tested for serological markers of blood-transmissible diseases. Marker-positive donors should not donate autologous blood. If autologous donation seems indispensable, infectious donations should be clearly marked as infectious.
