Abstract
To assess the viral safety of the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) intermediate purity factor VIII and IX concentrates, t he liver function and viral status were assessed prospectively in 13 r ecipients. None developed hepatitis or seroconverted to HIV or HCV. Th is study provides additional evidence for the efficacy of dry heat tre atment at 80 degrees C for 72 h in preventing virus transmission by co agulation factor concentrates.
