Perspectives de l'inactivation des pathogènes: quand la fiction dépasse la réalité [Back to the future: a fiction dealing with pathogen inactivation of blood products].

CONCLUSION: Such a fiction story opens the debate on a series of fundamental questions that could be addressed during the paradigm shift that is expected by introducing universal pathogen inactivation of blood products.
