55
Q

What is common with an allergic (uticarial) reaction post-transfusion?

A

Hives, antihistamines may relieve symptoms of this type of reaction

56
Q

What is common with an intravascular hemolytic reaction?

A

Usually resulting from transfusing ABO-incompatible blood or clerical errors, a burning sensation at the site of infusion, may activate the coagulation system resulting in DIC
