INACTIVATION OF Trypanosoma cruzi TRYPOMASTIGOTE FORMS IN BLOOD COMPONENTS BY PHOTODYNAMIC TREATMENT WITH PHTHALOCYANINES

Differences in cell charge between epimastigote and trypomastigote populations were compared in Y, Cl and Colombiana strains of T. cruzi. Trypomastigote populations were more homogenous in relation to cell charge than epimastigotes. This homogeneity of cell charge was not the result of the selection of trypomastigote sub-populations by the host immunosystem, but may be the result of a surface coat formed by host blood components.

SummaryTwo important factors concerning the management of hemophilia in France are considered.The supply of factors VIII and IX for replacement therapy meets the current demand but as the demand increases with the development of self-infusion programs, the production will also have to increase. This can only be done through more effective use of all of the blood components and will require careful evaluation of the needs of each patient.Programs which teach self-infusion and the other aspects of home care are gradually allowing the hemophiliac and his family better understanding of the disease. These programs are developing slowly in France but must be expanded to improve the general care of all French hemophiliacs.
