Written question asked by Jason McCartney (Conservative) on Tuesday, 3 May 2011, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 5 May 2011. It was answered by Anne Milton (Conservative) on Tuesday, 10 May 2011 on behalf of the Department of Health.
Blood: CJD
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate his Department has made of the number of people who have contracted variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease as a result of receiving (a) contaminated blood via blood transfusion and (b) non-leucodepleted contaminated blood via blood transfusion.
- Answer
-
There have been three cases of clinical variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) presumed to be associated with blood transfusion. These have occurred in people who have received blood transfusions from donors who themselves went on to develop clinical vCJD after they had made the blood donation. None of these patients were transfused after 1999, and all received non-leucodepleted blood.
