Abstract
Qualitative and quantitative data on the bacterial contamination of 1000 platelet concentrates prepared and stored at 20 degrees C are presented. Using cooked meat medium the incidence of contamination was 6.3%. However, nutrient agar platelet counts showed the concentration of bacteria to be low. The clinical significance of these results is discussed.Mesh:
