             Hepatitis From


             Blood Transfusions:

             Evaluation Of Methods

             To Reduce The Problem

             Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
             This report examines ways to reduce the
             incidence of hepatitis from blood trans-
             fusions, including the Department of Health,
             Education, and Welfare's plan calling for the
             elimination of the practice of purchasing
             blood.

             GAO identifies a number of difficulties with
             eliminating purchased blood and makes
             several other recommendations to alleviate
             the problem.
             GAO recommends
                -adopting a national or regional registry
                of unacceptable blood donors,
                -testing all units of blood for hepatitis
                by the best test available, and
                --emphasizing research to determine the
                effect frozen blood has on hepatitis and
                to alleviate problems associated with
                frozen blood.
