CFIDS Association of America Webinar: XMRV and Blood Safety

In this webinar, Louis M. Katz, MD, a specialist in infectious diseases and a prominent figure in US national blood banking organisations, will provide background about blood safety issues related to XMRV.

Public health officials are investigating the potential threat to the US blood supply posed by XMRV due to the possibility that it might be transmitted through transfusions, as are other retroviruses such as HIV and HTLV. Dr. Katz will review current XMRV research initiatives and will discuss investigations of the retrovirus by those working in transfusion medicine.
