However, severe intravascular hemolysis can also be due to transfusion of nonhomologous ABO plasma, platelet concentrate, or group O whole blood to either A, B, or AB recipients (2-4). Finally, the production of autoimmune ABO antibodies also causes severe intravascular hemolysis (5). When there is no alternative to transfusing group O blood to group A, B, or AB recipients, the clinician will recommend that packed cells be used in order to avoid unnecessary transfer of group O plasma containing the inappropriate ABO antibody....References1.
