Can you list me all the bloodborne pathogens?
Question:
Answers:
No, I cannot, because there are doubtlessly more to be discovered. For instance, we know there are still severl forms of hepatitis caused by blood transfusion which are not yet idenfied as unique viruses- but some day well give these hepatitis letter names.
However, I can list the ones that we monitor:
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, HTLV-1, CMV (cytomegalovirus), HGV (hepatitis G virus), malaria, babesiosis, leishmaniasis, lyme disease, chagas' disease, TTV(transfusion tranmitted virus- a hepatitis), creutzfeld-jakob disease, Kaposi's sarcoma/Human herpesvirus 8, toxopolasmosis, and bacterial contamination of blood products (many different types).
