Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus seroprevalence among blood donors in Uganda

Given the high seroprevalence and limited availability of lab assays that detect active KSHV infections, methods such as leukoreduction or pathogen reduction should be considered to potentially reduce the risk of transfusion transmission of KSHV.
