continued allergic reactions with red cell transfusion despite antihistamine Tx
febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction
most common reaction that occurs within 1-6 hours of transfusion
leukocytes release cytokines
patient with IgA deficiency needs transfusion
RBC should be washed to remove as much plasma as possible
