Boala Alzheimer ar putea fi transmisă prin transfuzie de sânge. Instrumentele chirurgicale, un alt pericol • Newsweek România

Alzheimer's disease may be transmitted through blood transfusions and contaminated surgical instruments, according to recent research. Scientists are exploring how harmful beta-amyloid proteins could spread in medical settings. A significant study in Denmark and Sweden indicated that recipients of blood from donors who later developed intracerebral hemorrhages had a higher risk of similar issues. Researchers emphasize the need for further epidemiological studies to assess the potential risks and advocate for enhanced monitoring of high-risk patients. While the risks remain largely theoretical, the importance of preparedness is highlighted.
