Perhaps because they are a minority in the Netherlands and the majority in UK? |

But IIRC that was because of aids. No. Recipients who contracted HIV or hepatitis from a 1980's transfusion, would be detectable by blood test long before now. 15 of the 140-odd people who have died of nv-CJD, were blood donors before their symptoms became apparent. There isn't any test to detect whether recipients of their blood products are affected, so to play safe, 80's-blood transfusion recipients in the UK can't donate blood. One UK recipient of blood from someone who was incubating nv CJD, has also contracted nv CJD. Janet |
