Nově se objevující, ale i stávající a známé infekční hrozby představují stálou výzvu v oblasti zajištění bezpečnosti krve a krevní transfuze. Kromě bezpříspěvkového dárcovství a pečlivého výběru dárců krve a jejích složek, robustních postupů laboratorního screeningu představuje významnou doplňující alternativu ve zvýšení bezpečnosti transfuzních přípravků tzv. patogen redukce. Tento stručný přehledový článek shrnuje informace o principu a použití patogen redukčních technologií v transfuzním lékařství a také nejnovější výzkumy týkající se jejich možného budoucího použití.

Keywords: PRT; patogen redukce; patogen inaktivace

Emerging, as well as existing and known infectious threats represent a constant challenge in ensuring blood safety and blood transfusions. In addition to non-contributory donations and careful selection of blood donors and its components, robust laboratory screening procedures represent a significant complementary alternative in increasing the safety of transfusion products, the so-called pathogen reduction. This brief review article summarizes information on the principle and application of pathogen reduction technologies in transfusion medicine, as well as the latest research on their possible future application.

Keywords: PRT; pathogen reduction; pathogen inactivation
