Blood Transfusion Errors

A blood transfusion can be a lifesaving treatment, or can cause severe injury or death. Using the wrong blood type or using tainted blood could cause the patient to develop serious, life-threatening infections.

Blood transfusions are necessary to replace blood lost due to serious injury or during surgery. Transfusions are also used to treat:

  • Severe anemia
  • Clotting disorders (such as thrombocytopenia/ITP/TTP)
  • Hemophilia
  • Sickle-cell anemia

Medical transfusion errors, such as using the wrong blood type or using tainted blood, could cause the patient to develop serious infections such as:

  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS)
  • Hepatitis
  • Human Parvovirus (HPV – B19)
  • Lyme Disease
  • West Nile Virus
  • Other Viral Diseases
  • Bacterial Infection
