The occurrence is close to 100% in hemophiliacs who have not previously received blood or blood derivatives (first-exposure patients) (1-3). Recently, several manufacturers of concentrate have developed physical or chemical methods that remove or inactivate viruses with little or no loss of clotting factor activity. One manufacturer has added hydrophobic interaction chromatography on octanohydrazide-agarose to the regular fractionation process of a commercial concentrate of clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X (4). In-vitro studies have...References1. KASPERKIPNIS CS. Hepatitis and clotting factor concentrates [Letter]. JAMA. 1972;221:510. CrossrefMedlineGoogle Scholar2. FLETCHERTROWELLCRASKEPAVIERRIZZA MJJKC.
