Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Despite routine bacterial screening with a bacterial culturing system (BacT/ALERT, bioMerieux) of platelet (PLT) concentrates, two cases of life-threatening sepsis attributed to transfused PLT products contaminated with Bacillus cereus were reported to the regional hemovigilance office in the southwest region of the Netherlands. These reports necessitated a retrospective evaluation of the currently...
