A member asked:
What should i check for when the red cross has said that my blood has bacteria in it and has deferred me as a donor. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacteria?: Much of what is screened for in donated blood is viral such as hiv, hbv, hcv but bacterial might mean a positive blood test for syphilis. What does the letter say?
