Journal of Clinical Pathology, 11/10/09
Coutinho H et al. – Platelet transfusions have the highest incidence of post transfusion sepsis compared to any other blood products. Recent reports suggest that platelet related bacteraemia occurs at a frequency approximately 50 times greater than that for red blood cells. The authors present a case of serious Staphylococcus aureus sepsis following platelet transfusion and discuss relevant methods to detect and prevent bacterial contamination.
