Blood products from persons known to be infected with West Nile are being withdrawn from the blood supply. Doctors have been requested to report any cases of West Nile virus in persons who have received organ donations or blood transfusions within the previous four weeks. These reports are used to locate additional potential sources of contaminated blood or organs.
