    Snippet: Blood transfusion regulations recommend that people who received a blood transfusion should not be permitted to donate blood for 12 months after the date of transfusion, mainly related to the risk of pathogen transmission. Applying this to EVD survivors following CP treatment would seriously reduce the donor pool.

    Document: Blood transfusion regulations recommend that people who received a blood transfusion should not be permitted to donate blood for 12 months after the date of transfusion, mainly related to the risk of pathogen transmission. Applying this to EVD survivors following CP treatment would seriously reduce the donor pool. However, if CP is shown to have a substantial effect, the benefits of using such patients as donors would probably outweigh potential risks. It should also be confirmed that CP-treated patients develop sufficient level of neutralizing antibodies against the virus, particularly if treated early in the disease course.
