Title: ANAPHYLACTOID TRANSFUSION REACTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ANTI-IgA
Abstract: Six patients whose serum contains antiIgA antibodies had have serious reactions after administration of blood, plasma, or gamma-globulins, presumably due to incompatible IgA globulins. The patients can be divided into two general groups. The first group consists of three patients deficient in IgA who have anti-IgA of broad reactivity (possibly class-specific) and a history of anaphylactic reactions to blood, plasma, or Cohn fraction II. The second group consists of multi-transfused patients whose anti-IgA is of more limited specificity, and who react with urticaria and/or anaphylactoid symptoms: in one of this group, evidence is presented incriminating anti-IgA as the cause of the reaction.
