“…Compared with other publications on Trima, 8‐16 our study focuses on separation features. As differences in the duration of procedures directly concern apheresis donors, 17 we consider “time for a standard dose” to be an extremely valuable parameter.…”

“…At this time, considering that all the parasites should be contained within monocytes, there is a direct correlation between the ability of the filter to remove leukocytes and parasite depletion. However, the possible presence of free amastigotes, due to WBC breakdown during filtration, which could survive outside the cells in blood stored at 4 C, may increase the risk of transmission [23,30,110,111].…”

Summary Leishmaniasis clinical spectrum ranges from cryptic infection to fatal visceral leishmaniasis. Cryptic infection can be found in blood donors from areas endemic for leishmaniasis all over the world. Although leishmaniasis is a classic vector-borne disease, cases of transfusion transmitted leishmaniasis have been reported especially in nonendemic areas. Most of these cases regarded infants or children. This paper reviews the literature on this specific feature and the impact of leishmaniasis on transfusion medicine. Relevant literature was found through PubMed. The reference lists of selected articles identified further sources. Conclusions: Blood donations by emigrants or travelers from endemic areas require special attention. Routine diagnostic methods should be implemented in blood banks to exclude donors that are positive for Leishmania, and individuals who suffered from visceral leishmaniasis should be prohibited from donating blood. The use of leukodepletion filters at the time of collection should be recommended in at-risk areas especially for high-risk recipients. ª

A multicentre evaluation of a new filtration protocol for leucocyte depletion of high‐haematocrit red blood cells collected by an automated blood collection system

Abstract: Immediate, on-line, high-haematocrit filtration of red cells collected on Trima resulted in leucoreduced RBCs, which met the AABB and Council of Europe criteria.
