Abstract
Individuals with severe IgA deficiency (IgA < 0.05 mg/dL) are at risk for severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, due to the presence of pre-formed circulating IgE anti-IgA auto antibodies Up to one fifth of all anaphylactic transfusion reactions are due to severe IgA deficiency Testing for severe IgA deficiency and anti-IgA antibodies can be done through ELISA and agglutination-based assays Autologous blood donation might be an option for minor, non-urgent, scheduled procedures in patients with selective IgA deficiency
