Abstract

The prevalence of viremia in donors is an important input parameter for modeling the risk of transmitting viral infections by transfusion.1 However, the presence of a virus in a donor does not necessarily mean a transfusion-transmitted infection (TTI) will occur in a corresponding recipient, as this also depends on the transfusion-transmission efficiency of the virus and the proportion of immune recipients.
