The Federal Office for Safety in Health Care (BASG) has been informed by the ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) that 5 further human WNV infections have been recorded in Italy during the current season (Mantova, Reggio Emilia, Modena). Details of other affected regions are unfortunately not known to the BASG at present.
It is therefore requested that the relevant information be taken into account in the medical history discussions and donor selections.
This letter corresponds to the current state of information of the BASG. As soon as further information is available, it will be announced.
