Serum IgE in polytransfused thalassemic patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Cold-stored platelets may be an alternative to conventional room temperature (RT) storage. However, cold-stored platelets are cleared more rapidly from circulation, reducing their suitability for prophylactic transfusion. To minimise wastage, it may be beneficial to store platelets conventiona...
