Alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen and antibodies to hepatitis C virus in blood donor screening. A prospective study in Finland.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Host- or donor-derived alloimmune thrombocytopenia can develop after non-myeloablative allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We report the first case of host-derived HPA-1a antibodies. CASE REPORT:A 52-year-old male patient received HSCT from his human leucocyte antigen ...
