    Author: Hewitt P.
    Journal: Transfus Clin Biol; 2006 Nov; 13(5):312-6. PubMed ID: 17188541.
    Abstract:
    A study was set up in the UK in 1997 to examine whether there is any evidence that variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is transmitted by blood transfusion. To date, the study has identified three probable cases of vCJD transmission by blood transfusion, including two clinical cases and one pre- (or sub-) clinical case.
