Description
Summary:In 1993, in Centre Alexis Vautrin, we took quite easily the census of 3,170 patients transfused between 1980 and 1985. In our institution, the systematic long-term follow-up of patients treated allowed to select rapidly the patients alive and to ask family doctors to inform and propose screening tests for a possible contamination by HIV and HCV viruses. Out of 802 patients alive, 703 accepted the tests. No contamination by the AIDS virus was detected. Conversely, the survey evidenced positive serology for the virus of Hepatitis C in 16 cases (2.4%).
