RESULTS: Based on data from Shenzhen, Hongkong and Taiwan, the maximum and mean risk (per million) of SARS-CoV transmission from donors in Shenzhen were estimated as 23.57 (95% CI: 6.83–47.69) and 14.11 (95% CI: 11.00–17.22), respectively. Theoretically estimated risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome transmission through blood transfusion during an epidemic in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China in 2003 Then, using this information and information on the asymptomatic or subclinical SARS-CoV infection-to-clinically confirmed SARS ratio (R), the proportion of infected individuals who remain asymptomatic (A), and the population size, we estimated the risk of SARS-CoV transmission by transfusion from a unit of blood donated at time t during the epidemic.	./cache/cord-314669-lvibjx97.txt	./txt/cord-314669-lvibjx97.txt
