Bacteria BPU.autologous Cult

Definition

  • Autologous blood donations are donations that individuals give for their own use, for example before a surgery. Autologous blood can be bacterially contaminated much like allogeneic blood and cause a transfusion reaction. Culturing the autologous blood unit may be a part of the transfusion reaction workup protocol. Whether the blood unit was autologous and or allogeneic is important information for the transfusion reaction investigation by revealing the collection and transfusion processes and workflow that may have allowed the unit to become contaminated.
