摘要: Objective. —To determine the risk of and factors for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among persons with immune deficiencies who had received intravenous globulin (IGIV) between March 1993 February 1994. Design. —Retrospective cohort study. Setting. —An immunology program in a tertiary care hospital. Patients. —Of 341 IGIV 1,1993, 22,1994, 278 (82%) were enrolled. The mean age enrolled was 9 years, 99% primary deficiencies. Main Outcome Measures. —Evidence HCV by detection sera antibody to and/or RNA reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Results. —Twenty-three (11%) 210 Gammagard (Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, III) became infected compared none 52 exclusively other products (P=.01). In multivariate analysis, associated only produced from plasma screened second-generation (multiantigen) anti-HCV tests (P=.03). Hepatitis detected Gammagard, transmission recipients increased increasing quantity infused, 0 those no RNA-positive lots 29% quartile patients receiving greatest amount (P Conclusion. —Gammagard product implicated HCV. Infection higher quantities anti-HCV-screened plasma. Further studies are needed reasons infectivity viral inactivation removal steps ensure safety products.
