Is SARS‐CoV‐2 transfusion transmitted?	2020-06-16		.txt	text/plain	2023	132	51	The few studies of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in donors or of donors developing COVID-19 after giving blood are a mix of small series wherein prospectively test-positive units were quarantined and not transfused or involved units quarantined after donation to permit the donor time to get ill before units are distributed. In a lookback to recipients of 17 transfused components from seven South Korean donors who developed COVID-19 6 to 15 days after donation, there was no associated clinical morbidity in the recipients; however, archived samples tested by PCR after the donors reported their illnesses were negative. 21 Precise estimates of the prevalence of asymptomatic/presymptomatic infection and especially of whether RNA-emia or, more germane to this topic, viremia occur in the absence of illness (especially in healthy donors or the larger well population who might be qualified to donate) are among the key missing data needed to inform our debate about any risk of TTI and subsequent TTD.
