Two batches of heat-treated factor VIII concentrate were found to contain anti-HIV-positive plasma donations. The batches were dry-heat-treated at 68 degrees C for 2 and 24 h, respectively. No HIV seroconversions occurred in 13 susceptible haemophiliacs receiving a total of 540 bottles of these factor VIII preparations. |
