They are immunologically vulnerable, and the effects of transfusion can be longstanding, including with respect to their development. The transfusion reactions in children differ from those in adults in the type of reactions, incidence, and severity. The incidence is more than that in adults for the common type of reactions noted in children. Transfusion reactions are most commonly associated with platelets, followed by plasma and red blood cell transfusions in children. Febrile, allergic, and hypotensive reactions or volume overload are the common types in children. Standardizing pediatric adverse transfusion reaction definitions and criteria are necessary to improve studies and reports. Several modifications are needed to be adapted for transfusing blood products in neonates and children to evade the reactions as much as possible and make transfusion safer in this vulnerable population. This article provides a brief articulation of the transfusion reactions in neonatal and pediatric populations describing how they are different from adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajts.ajts_27_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]],"date-time":"2024-08-30T10:33:21Z","timestamp":1725014001000},"page":"97-102","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Transfusion reactions in neonates and pediatrics"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Abhishekh","family":"Basavarajegowda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nishad","family":"Plakkal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-17-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.4103\/ajts.AJTS_5_18","article-title":"Haemovigilance Programme of India: Analysis of transfusion reactions reported from January 2013 to April 2016 and key recommendations for blood safety","volume":"12","author":"Bisht","year":"2018","journal-title":"Asian J Transfus Sci"},{"key":"R3-17-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.4103\/ajts.ajts_192_20","article-title":"Haemovigilance Programme of India: Comparative analysis of transfusion reactions reported over a 5-year period through two reporting formats and key recommendations for blood safety","volume":"14","author":"Bisht","year":"2020","journal-title":"Asian J Transfus Sci"},{"key":"R5-17-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2141.2008.07022.x","article-title":"SHOT Steering Group.
