Q: reaction?
Answer:
* A. A 38 year old male who has received multiple blood transfusions in the past
year. B. A 42 year old female who is immunocompromised. C. A 78 year old male
who is B+ that just received AB+ blood during a transfusion. D. A 25 year old
female who is AB+ and just received B+ blood. The answer is A. A febrile
transfusion reaction is where the recipient's WBCs are reacting with the donor's
WBCs. This causes the body to build antibodies. It is most COMMON in patients
who have received blood transfusion in the past. Option B is at risk for GvHD (graft
versus host disease). Option C is wrong because this places the patient at risk for a
hemolytic transfusion reaction (not febrile). The patient is receiving incompatible
blood. However, option D is not the patient at MOST risk compared to option A.
Note the patient is receiving compatible blood. Note the patient is receiving
compatible blood in this option.
