Louis M. Katz, MD, a specialist in infectious diseases and a prominent figure in national blood banking organizations, provided background about blood safety issues related to xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) -- a retrovirus that has been linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Public health officials are investigating the potential threat to the nation's blood supply posed by XMRV due to the possibility that it might be transmitted through transfusions, as are other retroviruses such as HIV and HTLV. Dr. Katz reviewed current XMRV research initiatives and will discuss investigations of the retrovirus by those working in transfusion medicine.
