title: [Non-hemolytic transfusion reactions of the febrile type].
abstract: The results of a hundred cases of febrile non haemolytic transfusion reactions are presented. We used the techniques that would best identify the different causes of these reactions. Most of these antibodies were anti HLA. Platelet and granulocyte-specific antibodies were seldom detected. The nature of the antibodies was specified by their different reactivity with the cells of various donors, by applying a panel of cells from typed donors and by absorption experiments. The study of the donor sera enabled us to elucidate the causes of some reactions. Nevertheless, in a significant percentage of cases it was not possible to determine the cause of the reaction, especially in the case of reactions secondary to platelet transfusions. Finally, we analyzed the reasons that could account for these phenomena.
