title: [ABO blood groups and platelet transfusion].
abstract: Platelet transfusion without regard for AB0 compatibility is controversially discussed. Therefore, we studied the success of 136 AB0 compatible and 52 incompatible platelet applications in 37 patients. Our results suggest, that AB0 matching can improve the response of platelet transfusion.
