Infectious Diseases and the Evolution of Transfusion Medicine: A Historical and Forward-Looking Perspective
Received Date: Mar 03, 2025 / Published Date: Mar 30, 2025
Abstract
Transfusion medicine has evolved significantly, driven in large part by the ongoing challenges presented by
infectious diseases. This historical review traces key milestones in the field, with particular attention to the influence
of pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis viruses, and West Nile virus on the development of blood safety protocols. By
examining advancements in donor screening, diagnostic testing, and pathogen inactivation technologies, we highlight
critical lessons that have shaped current practices. Furthermore, we consider future directions for transfusion
medicine, including the adoption of emerging technologies and personalized medicine strategies aimed at improving
both safety and efficacy. This review underscores the necessity of sustained vigilance in blood safety and the vital role
of continuous research and innovation in meeting future challenges.
