Abstract
Bacterial Sepsis Secondary to Red Blood Cells Transfusion Despite Routine Platelet Culture Screening: A Case Report
César Cerdas-Quesada
Bacterial contamination of hemocomponents is a leading cause of transfusion related fatality. Culturing components may detect the presence of bacteria, thus reducing the risk of a septic result alter transfusion. Bacteria that contaminate blood products may originate from donor skin flora, from donor asymptomatic bacteremia or from contamination during blood processing.
