DISEASE TRANSMISSION
Workshop on Quality Systems in Ocular Tissue BankingZagreb, Croatia January 2013
Allograft characteristics affecting ability to transmit disease
• Nonviable Allograft– Bone – Costal cartilage – Dura mater – Fascia– Ear ossicles – Tendon
• Non-viable Acellular– Connective tissue
• Can be disinfected, processed, sterilized
• Viable Allograft-- Heart valve and vessels (?) – Cornea– Articular Cartilage– Skin– Marrow– Stem cells – Blood transfusion
• Contains viable cells• May be antibiotic treated• Cannot be sterilized
DISEASE TRANSMISSION
Workshop on Quality Systems in Ocular Tissue BankingZagreb, Croatia January 2013
The most worrisome tissue allografts are those that are not heavily disinfected or sterilized

• 3 Previously HCV infected
• 1 recipients not found (bone, bone-tendon recipient)
• FIVE of 27 were HCV RNA POS genotype 1a
– 1 (?2) of 2 saphenous vein recipients (reported to CV

Papillary Adenocarcinoma of the Iris Transmitted by Corneal Transplantation
Arch Ophthalmol. 2002;120:1379-1383
• Nov 1990. 22 yr old Male : received corneal graft for keratoconus• Apr 1992. No signs or symptoms. 20/20 vision• June 1992 (19 mo later) Saw MD because of a 2-week history of
– slight right eye irritation – discoloration of his iris.
• Aug 1992 mass approximately 4.0 x 2.5 mm, arising from the iris.– Initially thought to be foreign body granulomatous reaction
• One week later: rapid growth: Excisional Biopsy– poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma – Radiation therapy to eye (10 000 rad (100 Gy) of 125iodine plaque
radiotherapy to a depth of 3 mm at the limbus) • 2002 (10 yr later). No recurrence Vision 20/30

The risk of infectious disease transmission
from tissue allograft transplants is low and
mainly with fresh or minimally processed
allografts
