Chronic fatigue patients barred from blood donation

The virus is known as xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus, or XMRV. Some studies have found that people with chronic fatigue syndrome are more likely to carry the virus. But it remains far from clear whether the virus causes the disease.

Nevertheless, the Red Cross decided to bar people with the syndrome from donating “in the interest of patient and donor safety,” according to an announcement from the organization.

“There is currently insufficient data to conclude that XMRV is transmitted through blood transfusion. However, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute [NHLBI] Task Force is conducting research to determine the frequency of the virus in the donor population, whether it is transfusion-transmitted, and whether recipients become infected and develop the disease,” it said.

Between 1 million and 4 million Americans are believed to suffer from the syndrome, which causes prolonged and severe fatigue, body aches and other symptoms. The cause has long been a mystery. Over the years, many viruses have been linked to the syndrome, only to end up being a dead end.

A task force that reviews blood safety for an organization known as the AABB recommended in June that blood-collecting organizations “actively discourage potential donors who have ever been diagnosed by a physician with chronic fatigue syndrome . . . or myalgic encephalomyelitis [ME], from donating blood or blood components. In addition, any donor with symptoms of CFS would be deferred if, on the day of donation, they respond negatively to the question, ‘Are you feeling well today?’ ” the agency said.

The recommendation came after new research strengthened the possible connection between the virus and the syndrome.

“The Red Cross has implemented the AABB recommendations and has gone further to implement indefinite deferral for donors who reveal a history of a medical diagnosis of CFS,” the statement said.

The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates blood safety, had no immediate comment on the decision. The agency is convening a panel of outside experts to review the issue this month.

K. Kimberly McCleary, president and CEO of The CFIDS Association of America, said the organization endorsed the move, both for the safety of blood transfusion recipients and syndrome patients, whose condition can make blood donation difficult.

“This is just added protection all the way around,” she said.

FDA committee votes to recommend that the Lap-Band be available to those with BMIs between 30 and 35

The 10-member Food and Drug Administration advisory committee voted overwhelmingly to recommend the agency grant the request from Allergan Inc. of Irvine, Calif., to market its Lap-Band device to people with a body mass index (BMI) of between 30 and 35.

Currently, the device, which is implanted around the stomach to restrict how much food a person consumes, is only approved for use in people who have not been able to lose weight through diet and exercise and have either a BMI of 40 or above or a combination of BMI of 35 or above and at least one serious weight-related health problem. Allergan’s request was to change that to a BMI of 35 with no health problems or 30 with health problems.

In a series of votes, the committee said there was sufficient evidence that the device was safe and effective for patients with lower BMIs and any risks were outweighed by the benefits.

The agency is not bound to follow the advice of the advisory committee, but usually does. If granted, the decision would signficantly increase the number of Americans eligible for the surgery.

The decision would only apply to this device, and not to another banding device sold by a division of Johnson & Johnson or to “bypass surgery” for weight loss, which is more commonly used and involves surgically reducing the size of the stomach.
