Answer:

The death of a premature infant was due to causes related to AIDS contracted through a blood transfusion given in January 1983. The transfusion was the only method of treating the child for a life-threatening condition. The courts decided to dismiss the case because the possibility of contracting AIDS from a blood transfusion in 1983 was not known as a material risk.

Explanation:

Up till 1983, scientists did not consider that AIDS could be caused by blood transfusion. As the virus was difficult to locate which caused AIDS, hence it was not suspected that AIDS could be spread through blood transfusion.

AIDS is a syndrome which is caused by a virus known as human immunodeficiency virus. Later studies showed that AIDS could be spread through sexual contact as well as a blood transfusion.
