Adverse Occurrence type:
MPHO Type:
Time to detection:
10 minutes
Alerting signals, symptoms, evidence of occurrence:
Case 1: stem cell transplant patient who received one half of a group A plateletpheresis component. Severe back pain occurred 10 minutes into the transfusion, accompanied by anemia and hyperbilirubinemia. Case 2: A second patient who received the other half of the same plateletpheresis component, volume reduced to 37 mL. Syncope occurred immediately after the transfusion, with laboratory evidence of hemolysis a few hours later.
Demonstration of imputability or root cause:
Serologic investigation of posttransfusion samples from both patients revealed positive direct antiglobulin tests: C3d only for Case 1 and immunoglobulin (Ig)G and C3d for Case 2; the eluates contained anti-B. The group A donor’s anti-B titer was 16,384 at saline and IgG phases.
