Abstract/Text
Symptoms of fever and/or rigours after transfusion continue to occur commonly in patients receiving platelets leucocyte-reduced after storage. A cohort of 24 consecutive patients who had experienced severe or repeated febrile nonhaemolytic reactions to post-storage leucocyte-reduced platelet transfusions were treated with saline-washed, post-storage leucocyte-reduced platelets. The frequency of reactions declined from 20% of transfusions (n = 191) to 0.6% (n = 331) after instituting saline-washed, post-storage leucocyte-reduced platelet transfusions. These results support the hypothesis that substances present in the supernatant of stored platelet concentrates mediate febrile nonhaemolytic transfusion reactions, and provide one strategy for preventing their occurrence.
