Conclusions
NBP are still a factor of concern in patients with hemophilia despite the more efficient screening methods introduced in the last decade in our country. From this perspective, clotting factor concentrates are much more efficient and safe, but the limited access to them in our patients makes imperative to use the combination with CPP or FFP.Mandatory vaccination against HBV and the introduction of serological screening methods for donors in Romania after 1993 has led to the decrease of the risk for hepatitis transmission.
