Development of Anti-e after Platelet Concentrate Transfusion

Platelet concentrates (PC) is prepared from donated whole blood units by centrifugation and subsequent pooling of 4-6 units Advancing Transfusion and Cellular Therapies Worldwide Advancing Transfusion and Cellular Therapies Worldwide. Thus, PC may contain a small amount of donor RBC. We report a case of a 60 year-old male patient with past medical history of coronary artery disease, who present...
