Detection of bacterial contamination of platelet components: six years' experience with the BacT/ALERT system.

abstract：:Before the advent of electronic means of communication, postal stamps were one of the main international promotion tools on the planet and still remains an important support for the wide diffusion of a message. Since 1942, the promotion of blood donation has been one of them. To highlight these recurring or specific c...

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...
