[Analysis of transfusion incident reports filed at 15 blood transfusion centers and health facilities during 17 months. Groupe Receveurs de laSFTS].

The principal result of the development of hemovigilance since 1994 has been the declaration of undesirable effects likely to be due to transfusions of labile blood products. Using the 1,694 cases of undesirable effects registered, it seemed worthwhile to us to analyze the distribution of the signs noticed, their frequency and the types of blood products responsible. This analysis allowed us to observe that the majority of reactions were shivery-feverish (47%) or allergic (24%).
