Abstract
In order to help the analysis of adverse effects of transfusion, factsheets have been written by working groups of the French agency for the safety of health products ANSM. Each factsheet deals with a blood transfusion side effect and is composed of five parts, including pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic criteria, management recommendations, etiologic investigations and rules for filing the notification form to ANSM. Since 2006, 11 factsheets have been published on the French haemovigilance network website. The major characteristics of the two last sheets published “post-transfusion purpura” and “non erythrocyte incompatibility reaction” are presented, followed by the updated card for “allergy”. These factsheets give relevant guidelines allowing better evaluation of recipients’ adverse reactions, particularly their diagnosis, severity and accountability. They also could initiate studies among European and international haemovigilance networks.
