In the 1970s and 1980s, a large number of people – most of whom had haemophilia – were infected with hepatitis C and HIV, the virus that leads to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), as a result of receiving contaminated clotting factor products. In the United Kingdom, these were supplied by the National Health Service (NHS). The Haemophilia Society estimates that around 4,700 people with bleeding disorders were infected, with some estimates as high as 6,000. As of August 2022, at least 2,400 people have died from the use of contaminated factor VIII and factor IX clotting agents and the viruses they transmitted.

  • Il caso degli emoderivati infetti nel Regno Unito è un caso di cronaca emerso quando migliaia di emofilici sono risultati essere infetti dai virus HIV e dell'epatite C in seguito alla somministrazione di fattori della coagulazione forniti dal servizio sanitario nazionale (NHS) tra gli anni settanta e gli anni ottanta. Fino all'ottobre 2017, sono stati registrati almeno 1.246 decessi in persone che hanno fatto uso di fattore VIII e fattore IX ma secondo alcune stime il numero totale di morti potrebbe raggiungere i 2.400 sebbene non siano note cifre esatte.
