While stressing that researchers have found no definitive links between the virus, known as XMRV, and the chronic fatigue, Canadian Blood Services says they will err on the side of caution and implement the new donation restrictions.
Canada is the first country in the world to make the move, which is being rolled out in donation centres nationwide over the coming weeks, says Dana Devine, head of medical and scientific research with the blood services agency.
“We’ve basically said ‘okay, let’s assume that this might be a problem and let’s not wait until all these studies have sorted out the answer,’ ” Devine says.
“Because we’re uncertain of the state of the science still, we’re going to wait until this sorts out and defer anyone who’s been diagnosed,” she says.
The move was given Health Canada approval last month and will be fully in place in the coming two weeks.
