Generally patients with epilepsy will not be accepted as blood donors by blood banks. A survey in the Dutch blood banks revealed two blood banks with a total of 13 donors suffering from epilepsy. We also questioned the Chapters of the International League against Epilepsy. The answers on a national and international level differed widely. We believe that the rare convulsion during blood donation is not an epileptic seizure, but in fact an emotive syncope. We advocate the acceptance of patients with epilepsy, free of seizures for 2 years irrespective of their medication, as blood donors.
一般来说，癫痫患者不会被血库接受为献血者。荷兰血库的一项调查显示，有两家血库共有13名癫痫患者作为献血者。我们还询问了国际抗癫痫联盟各分会。国家和国际层面的回答差异很大。我们认为，献血过程中罕见的抽搐并非癫痫发作，而实际上是情感性晕厥。我们主张接受癫痫患者为献血者，只要他们已停药且两年内无癫痫发作。
