During infusion or transfusion - what does this mean
A transfusion or infusion reaction occurs when a person's body has an adverse reaction to the foreign blood or fluids that are being administered. this reaction can be caused by a mismatched blood type, an infection in the donor blood, or an allergic reaction to the fluids or medications being infused or transfused. symptoms of a reaction can include fever, chills, hives, rash, low blood pressure, and difficulty breathing.
What happens during the disease - during infusion or transfusion
The pathogenesis of transfusion reactions is thought to be due to the introduction of foreign antigens from the donor's blood into the recipient's body. this can lead to the formation of antibodies and an immune response, which can range from mild to severe. in some cases, the recipient's body may also be unable to process the transfused blood correctly, leading to a range of clinical symptoms such as fever, chills, rash, and nausea. in rare cases, severe reactions can occur, leading to anaphylaxis and even death.
