|
| 14. | A Duffy negative blood recipient may have a transfusion reaction if the donor is Duffy positive.
|
| 15. | Both anti-S and anti-s have been implicated in transfusion reactions and haemolytic disease of the newborn.
|
| 16. | Though present in the fetus, it is seldom the cause of erythroblastosis fetalis or of transfusion reactions.
|
| 17. | The lower volume of plasma also reduces the chances of an adverse transfusion reaction to plasma proteins.
|
| 18. | Not all antibodies are clinically significant ( i . e . cause transfusion reactions, HDN, etc . ).
|
| 19. | Such antibodies can cause problems in subsequent transfusions, both febrile transfusion reactions and poor response to platelet transfusions.
|
| 20. | It is thought that this lifesaving measure is of more benefit than any risk of an antibody-mediated transfusion reaction.
