Comparative StudyInfectious disease markers in various groups of donors.
A number of studies have commented on the inadvisability of transfusing unused blood given by autologous and directed donors to patients other than those for whom the blood was originally given (crossing over). It has been stated that these bloods are dangerous and should not be used for allogeneic transfusion. ⋯ Therefore, the "dangerous" donor is actually more likely a first time donor. Following this reasoning, the use of all blood from first time donors should be suspect.
