The fundamental concept in pathogen reduction technology (PRT) is the ability to inactivate patho-gens and thus reduce the risk of transfusiontransmitted infections while maintaining the integrity of constituent blood cells. The main consideration in PRT is not only the maximum killing capacity but also how PRT performs in relation to the levels of infectious agents that can be expected in asymptomatic individuals who could pass the donor medical screening process. In this review we summarize the circulating levels of infectious agents and the likelihood of infectivity from these levels. This is put in context with other factors that influence the likelihood of infections from a particular blood product.
