Excerpt from The Biology of the Blood-Cells With a Glossary of Haematological Terms: For the Use of Practitioners of Medicine It is evident, therefore, that a clear idea of the blood-cells predicates more data than are supplied by taking a single drop of blood, drying it, and subjecting it to a microscopic examination. Maybe this is the only feasible procedure in a patient, but it is not the only method by which the subject can be studied. The structure of the blood-cell-forming organs is now sufficiently far advanced to enable definite ideas to be maintained. A knowledge of the structure of these blood-cell factories is all essential to a correct appreciation of the significance of the presence of the various changes found in blood films both in health and disease.

During the early years of the AIDS epidemic, thousands of Americans became infected with HIV through the nation's blood supply. Because little reliable information existed at the time AIDS first began showing up in hemophiliacs and in others who had received transfusions, experts disagreed about whether blood and blood products could transmit the disease. During this period of great uncertainty, decision-making regarding the blood supply became increasingly difficult and fraught with risk. This volume provides a balanced inquiry into the blood safety controversy, which involves private sexual practices, personal tragedy for the victims of HIV/AIDS, and public confidence in America's blood services system. The book focuses on critical decisions as information about the danger to the blood supply emerged. The committee draws conclusions about what was doneâ€"and recommends what should be done to produce better outcomes in the face of future threats to blood safety. The committee frames its analysis around four critical area: Product treatmentâ€"Could effective methods for inactivating HIV in blood have been introduced sooner? Donor screening and referralâ€"including a review of screening to exlude high-risk individuals. Regulations and recall of contaminated bloodâ€"analyzing decisions by federal agencies and the private sector. Risk communicationâ€"examining whether infections could have been averted by better communication of the risks.
