Transfusion-associated transmission of human T-lymphotropic virus types I and II: experience of a regional blood center.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The risk of transfusion reactions (TR) and the cost of blood has led to efforts to reduce blood use. We changed our practice to transfuse just one instead of two units of red blood cells (RBC) when hemoglobin ≤8 g/dL due to patient blood management (PBM) recommendations. METHODS AND MATERIALS:We compared RB...

abstract：:Methyldopa can produce both a positive direct antiglobulin test and less commonly a positive indirect antiglobulin test. When the drug-induced antibody is present in the serum, it acts as a panagglutinin and reacts with all normal red blood cells; consequently crossmatch-compatible blood cannot be prepared. Although t...

UMC is absent from Inab phenotype cells, weakly expressed on Dr(a-) cells, and destroyed by alpha-chymotrypsin but not trypsin treatment of red cells. UMC is, therefore, a Cromer-related antigen.
