Hepatitis C virus transmission by a blood donation negative in nucleic acid amplification tests for viral RNA.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) was transmitted by transfusion of a platelet concentrate made from an anti-HCV and HCV-PCR-negative blood donation. Even a negative nucleic acid amplification test cannot completely prevent transmission of HCV.
