    Citation Excerpt :

    The most frequent untoward effects are acute and delayed haemolytic reactions and alloimmunisation. Infectious risks include the transmission of viral diseases (human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, possibly other types of hepatitis), bacterial diseases (contamination of the red blood cells during handling), parasites (malaria) and, recently, prions (new variant Creutzfeld–Jakob–Disease).28–31 An additional immunological complication is transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI).
