Dos Santos Bezerra R, et al. Detection of Influenza A(H3N2) Virus RNA in Donated Blood. Emerg Infect Dis. 2020 Apr 18;26(7).
Influenza A virus infection has rarely been documented to cause viremia. In 28 blood donations in Brazil that were deferred because of postdonation information, we identified influenza A(H3N2) virus RNA in 1 donation using metagenomic analysis. Our finding implies theoretical risk for viremia and transfusion transmission.
