The New England Journal of Medicine (June 7, 1990) reported: “Physicians, increasingly aware of the risks of [AIDS] and other infections transmitted by transfusion, are reconsidering the risks and benefits of transfusions and are turning to alternatives, including that of avoiding transfusions altogether. ”
The New England Journal of Medicine (7. juuni 1990) teatas: „Arstid, olles üha enam teadlikud riskist vereülekandega üle kanda [AIDS - i] ja teisi nakkusi, kaaluvad uuesti vereülekannete riski ja kasu ning pöörduvad alternatiivide poole, kaasa arvatud vereülekannetest hoidumine üleüldse. ”
