The human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) agent in infected blood specimens remained viable during refrigeration at 4 degrees C for up to 18 days. These findings suggest that blood specimens submitted for culture may withstand transportation to a remote laboratory. HGE should be added to the list of infections potentially transmitted by blood transfusion.
感染血液标本中的人粒细胞埃立克体病(HGE)病原体在4℃冷藏条件下可存活长达18天。这些发现表明,提交用于培养的血液标本在运往偏远实验室的过程中可能能够耐受。HGE应被添加到可能通过输血传播的感染列表中。
