About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Allergic Transfusion Reactions and Passive Transfer of Allergy” by Margaret Compton, MD.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about allergic transfusion reactions which occur when the recipient of a blood transfusion develops an allergic reaction to the transfused blood or its components. These reactions are most commonly caused by the presence of antibodies in the recipients blood that react with the proteins in the donors blood.

Passive transfer of allergy can occur when a person receives antibodies from another individual, either through blood transfusion or through the placenta during pregnancy. This can result in the recipient developing an allergic reaction to a substance that they were not previously allergic to.

In the context of blood transfusions, passive transfer of allergy can occur when a donor has an allergy to a substance that is present in their blood, such as certain medications or foods. If the recipient receives blood containing these antibodies, they may develop an allergic reaction to the substance as well.

To prevent allergic transfusion reactions, blood banks carefully screen potential donors and their blood for the presence of antibodies and other substances that could cause an allergic reaction in the recipient. In cases where passive transfer of allergy is a concern, doctors may choose to use blood products that have been specially treated to remove or reduce the presence of antibodies.

Slide 2-

Importance of Allergic Transfusion Reactions The most common reaction associated with transfusion of platelets and plasma products About 2% of platelet transfusions Second-most common reaction with PRBCs About 0.1-0.5% of PRBC transfusions Most common reaction is febrile transfusion reaction Morbidity for the patient, energy and time of BB staff, product wastage Transfusion. 2013 June 53(6): 1361-1371

Why do Allergic Reactions Occur?
Slide 7-

Mechanism Same clinical manifestations as other types of allergic reactions, so assumed to be Type 1 IgE mediated hypersensitivity Transfusion 2013 June: 53(6): 1361-1371
Slide 8-

Four Proposed Types of Mechanisms 1) IgE mediated reaction against foreign proteins 2) IgE mediated reactions against protein-hapten complexes (e.g. penicillin) 3) Activation of complements and generation of endogenous anaphylotoxins (high titer anti-IgA IgG in IgA deficiency) 4) Direct activation of basophils/mast cells (contrast)

Fin de Siècle Immunology 1890 Emil Behring and Kitasato Shibasaburo discover diphtheria antitoxin 1892 Paul Ehrlich begins to hypothesize the crossing of antibodies via the placenta and breastmilk Many additional experiments about antibody kinetics 1900 Karl Landsteiner discovers the existence of blood groups Karl Landsteiner: Brittanica.com Nature Immunology 2000: 1, 453 - 455
Slide 10-

A Brief History of Allergy Research 1903: Von Pirquit and Schick performing work on antitoxin in Vienna Observed that some children have an immediate reaction when injected with horse serum Coined the term “Allergy” from the Greek allos (other) + ergon (reaction) This concept also proposed by Nicolas Arthus in the same year (induced edema and necrotizing skin lesions after repeatedly injecting rabbits with horse serum) Transfusion 2013 June: 53(6): 1361-1371 Nature Immunology 2000: 1, 453 - 455 Bela Schick (Library of Congress) Clemens Von Pirquit (Nature Immunology)
Slide 11-

Passive Transfer of Allergy by Transfusion 1919: Maximilian Ramirez publishes an account in JAMA 35 y/o male without history of allergies receives a blood transfusion 2 weeks later, patient goes for a carriage ride in Central Park, develops anaphylaxis requiring epinephrine administration Both patient and donor are skin tested and found to be allergic to horse dander He notes “This phenomenon did not occur in another patient to whom this donor had previously given blood, although a larger amount (800 cc) was transfused” JAMA 1919; 73:854-855
Slide 12-

Passive Transfer of Allergy: Further Proof 1921: Prausnitz and Küstner demonstrate passive transfer of allergy (PK test) Otto Praunitz injects different dilutions of serum from Heinz Küstner (allergic to fish) under the skin of his forearm, then subsequently injects fish extract into these places. He develops a localized reaction, having acquired Küstner's allergy J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2004 Sep;114(3):700-4.

Discovery of IgA Deficiency Anaphylaxis in IgA deficient recipients described in 1968 by Vyas IgA deficiency most common primary immunodeficiency (ranges from 1 in 600 in Caucasian population to 1 in 18,000 in Japanese) Absolute IgA deficiency defined as <0.05 mg/dL (far below the limit of detection for most labs) Small series of patients with relative IgA deficiency (less that the limit of detection, but greater than 0.05) showed severe allergic reactions in 10% (4/39 patients) compared to 0.052% in IgA replete Vox Sang. 2014 Nov;107(4):389-92
Slide 17-

Anaphylactic Reactions Reactions involving preformed recipient antibodies against plasma proteins (as in IgA deficiency) tend to be severe Other proteins with this mechanism include: Haptoglobin Complement components Rates of reactions are higher for platelets than other plasma products Curr Opin Hematol. 2003 Nov;10(6):419-23

Combination of donor and recipient factors Transfusion. 2011 Aug;51(8):1716-22.
Slide 19-

Recipient Factors Age: Pediatric population almost 2x more likely to have an ATR than adult population
Slide 20-

Recipient Factors Risk of ATR for primary infusion of pRBCs increases with parity (Nigerian Postgrad Med J. 2002; 9:137-139) 0% (0-1 child), 3.8% (2), 8.3% (3), 21.7% (4), 37.5% (5) Atopic Predisposition Food or drug allergy? Peanuts ingested by blood donors: are the peptides still present? N Engl J Med. 2011 Sep 1;365(9):867-8
Slide 21-

Product Factors Plasma reduced products have a lower rate of ATR Platelet additive solution has lower rate of ATRs Platelet products have higher rates of ATRs than acellular plasma Rates of allergic reactions lower in patients who received apheresis, rather than pooled platelets Some sort of storage lesion perhaps? No association with storage time Higher rate of ATR among ABO incompatible platelet transfusion? Transfusion 2013 Jun 53(6):1361-1371 Transfusion. 2011 Jan;51(1):125-8.

Slide 26-

Presence of Drugs in Blood Products Netherlands: - Medication history specifically elicited in plasma donors - 1000 drugs and drug metabolites tested by HPLC in plasma samples, 14/87 samples contained detectable levels of medications - At least 8 of the drugs detected have been known to cause anaphylaxis Presence of Illegal drugs? Vox Sang. 2015 May;108(4):323-7
Slide 27-

Should Blood Donors Be Screened for Allergic Symptoms? Hypothesis: passive transfer of IgE to common allergens causing allergic transfusion reaction Eliminate atopic donors at the time of screening so that they do not pass on pre-formed IgE to recipient 24.9% of donor pop. reported allergic symptoms 54.5% of allergic had IgE to common food and aeroallergens 12.3% of “non-allergic” had IgE Vox Sang. 1995;69(2):114-9.
Slide 28-

Should Donors Be Screened for Antigen Exposure? Donors may have lots of different potential food allergens, pharmaceuticals, etc. that may cause allergic reaction in recipient Should donors be screened on a questionnaire whether or not they had exposure? Logistical challenge (which allergens?) Decrease donor population

Allergic Transfusion Reactions At VUMC Nov 2013-Sept 2014 (10 months) 244 total reactions, 86 allergic 14% PRBCs, 66.3% Platelets, 19.7% FFP
Slide 30-

Additional Symptoms 52.3% of patients
Slide 31-

Prior Allergic Reactions
Slide 32-

Additional Transfusions 54.7% (47 patients) required more blood products
Slide 33-

Summary Mechanism for most allergic reactions is unknown. Complex reaction with many possible factors related to both the blood product (presence of donor IgE, ingestion of allergen by donor, donor medications, component released by platelets?, components of additive solution, etc.) and the recipient (atopic predisposition, pre-formed IgE to particular protein, pre-formed IgG to particular protein) Not entirely clear how the rate of these reactions can be reduced
