KEBUMEN, Central Java: The Indonesian Red Cross' Kebumen blood
transfusion unit has found 26 of its blood bags contaminated with
the Hepatitis B virus.

The unit's spokesperson, Supriyanto, tried to calm public fear
by saying that none of the contaminated blood bags have been used
for transfusions.

He explained that after examining the records it was
discovered that the blood originated from a regular donor who's
future donations will be rejected. (wah/mds)
