Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions are the most commonly reported complication associated with transfusion. These reactions typically present as a fever within 1-6 hours after transfusion and are caused by non-specific antibodies reacting to white blood cells or other cell fragments in the transfused blood. Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions, delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions, and immune-mediated hemolytic transfusion reactions are less common but more serious complications associated with transfusion.
