There was no significant increase in platelet count in transfused and not transfused patients, meaning that platelet transfusion had no longer benefit in reduction of clinical or severe bleeding or improvement in platelet count recovery

Determination of Red Cell Indices and Sero-prevalence of Transfusion Transmissible Infectious Diseases among Stable Paediatric Sickle Cell Patients

Blood transfusion does not significantly increase the seroprevalence of transfusion transmissible infections in our clinically stable SCD participants.
