Boala Alzheimer s-ar putea transmite prin transfuzii de sânge și instrumente chirurgicale

Recent research suggests that Alzheimer's disease may have a transmissible component, challenging traditional views on its causes. A study in Denmark and Sweden involving over a million people indicates that beta-amyloid proteins could be transmitted through medical procedures. Patients receiving blood transfusions from donors who later developed brain hemorrhages showed an increased risk of similar complications. The presence of beta-amyloid in donor blood is a plausible explanation. Additionally, non-sterilized surgical instruments may also pose a transmission risk. Experts emphasize the need for further investigation and preventive measures.
