Prevention of transfusion‐transmitted hepatitis E by donor‐initiated self exclusion

summary.  Safety in blood transfusion has all along been focused on blood borne viruses like HIV, hepatitis B and C. However, infective agents that are not usually transmitted through blood may also pose risk to transfusion if the donor gives blood in the early‐viraemic phase. A case report of potential transfusion‐transmitted hepatitis E (HEV) is described. It shows the virus can be transmissible via blood because of the presence of HEV RNA in the blood donated. Pre‐donation health screening was unable to exclude this asymptomatic donor. But donor‐initiated call back system which acts as an additional safety net prevented the release of the potential infective blood products.
