Several reports of Yersinia enterocolitica (Ye) post-transfusion septicaemia have been recently published. In order to study the prevalence of Ye contamination of packed red blood cells (PRBC) we performed a post-transfusion control on 1,000 PRBC units. We did not find any Ye contamination. This is in accordance with the rarity of the reported cases. However as they are very serious, a prevention is necessary. As classical bacteriological techniques are not feasible, the only possibility is to decrease the PRBC conservation time and to select blood donors by a careful questioning about recent GI tract disturbances.
