India hit by contaminated blood scandal

BMJ 1995;311:467 (19 August)

A complaint that the Red Cross blood bank in Bombay supplied several hospitals with blood that was contaminated with HIV threatens to snowball into India's biggest blood scandal since the government made screening for HIV mandatory six years ago. A former Red Cross doctor has told government investigators that he has evidence that several hundred bottles of blood whose contamination status is unknown remain unaccounted for in the blood bank's records. http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/311/7003/467
