title: Anaphylactoid transfusion reactions associated with a positively charged white-cell reduction filter: a case report.
abstract: The effectiveness of a white-cell reduction filter to deplete contaminated leucocytes in preventing the harmful effects of transfusion is evident. However, several complications associated with a white-cell reduction filter have been identified. We report the first case of anaphylactoid reactions caused by a white-cell reduction filter with a positively charged surface.
