How many haemophiliacs have been treated with concentrates made from plasma from a donor known to have developed vCJD?
Canadian Blood Services has heard that 200 haemophiliacs have been treated with concentrates made from plasma taken from a donor known to have developed vCJD. However, this number could be higher. Since patients have the choice to know their status, it is possible that an exact number has never been made public. /\ Top 11. How many haemophiliac patients who have been treated with concentrates made from plasma they received from a donor who subsequently developed vCJD – have then died and had an autopsy that looked for prions performed? A total of 17 patients have been biopsied. More than one, but not all, had received implicated batches, such as the person who died recently in the U.K. I believe we will have to wait for the publication of James Ironside’s paper to know more details. So the denominator is more than one but not more than 17.
