CJD and Blood Transfusions

Pat Rickett

 

Dear Sir,

Dr. James Irvine states on Warmwell (14 Feb 2003) that CJD is transmissable by blood transfusions - please would he say if any of the known cases of CJD have been transmitted in this way or are his assertions the result of laboratory tests, if so, what are they? Layman's language please!
