Infected blood transfusions probably killed 1,800 in UK, study says
In what has been called the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS, one group infected was given regular injections of a contaminated treatment for blood-clotting disorder haemophilia in the 1970s and 1980s.
Hepatitis C primarily affects the liver and, left untreated, can lead to cirrhosis or cancer and may require a full liver transplant. The long period between infection and symptoms appearing makes it difficult to know how many people were infected through a transfusion in the 1970s and 1980s, before it became possible to screen blood donations for the virus.
It found at least 79 and possibly up to 100 people also contracted HIV through donated blood, based on data provided by the UK Health Security Agency , with most infections between 1985 and 1987.
