Case report of a transfusion-associated hepatitis A infection.

Background: Documented transfusion-associated hepatitis A (TAHA) is rare, and blood donors in the United States are not routinely screened for this infection. We report a case of TAHA associated with a donation made 8 days after a donor returned from a trip to South America.

Study Design And Methods: This is a review of donor and recipient records and a review of the literature.
