Abstract

Obstacles of transfusion of blood are uncommon but can endanger the health. Anaphylactic reactions
associated with the blood transfusion (BT) of PRC blood components presents as bradycardia followed by
tachycardia and urticaria within 15 minutes of transfusion. In suchcases, clinicians should strictly monitor
the patient’s condition at least while the patient receives blood transfusion.
Here we are reporting a case of 28 year old pregnant female presented with Iron deficiency anemia (IDA), a
LSCS (caesarean section) delivery was performed and blood was transfused, who was affected by an acute
anaphylactic reaction following red cell transfusion. This case highpoints the need to examine potential risk
of transfusion of the blood component against the alleged advantage.
