Thursday, February 13, 2003Tests on the white particles found in more than 100 bags of quarantined blood in Georgia and Tennessee showed that they contained little more than platelets, white cells and other "normal blood components," the American Red Cross said today. But officials with the organization, which supplies about half the donated blood in the country, said they did not know what was causing the particles to appear in the bags. "We're starting to discover what this stuff is, but we don't know why it is happening," said Candice Gulden, a spokeswoman for the Red Cross in Atlanta. "Our investigations are continuing." They're still keeping them quarantined, though, even as shortages of blood continue. posted by Sydney on 2/13/2003 07:05:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
