ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

OBJECTIVES:

Platelet concentrates are frequently transfused to patients with reduced immunity. An exhaustive description of their viral content is needed to prevent unwanted infection. MATERIAL AND

METHODS:

To track viral sequences, a shotgun metagenomics approach was used on a bank of 300 platelets concentrates. Sequences were analysed through the diagnostics-oriented pipeline ezVIR.

RESULTS:

We only observed viruses commonly described in healthy individuals.

CONCLUSION:

Herein is reported the first viral landscape of a platelet concentrates bank.
