Abstract

We read with interest that Cordes et al.1 undertook a study wherein they performed individual donor nucleic acid testing (ID-NAT) for hepatitis E virus (HEV) in Germany using the Procleix HEV assay (Grifols, Barcelona, Spain). Using a similar approach, between January 4th, 2016 and March 17th, 2017, 172,277 blood donations were screened for HEV by the Irish Blood Transfusion Service. Screening was performed by ID-NAT using the Procleix HEV assay on the automated Procleix Panther System (Grifols).
