Q5: Can we get rid of the need to irradiate products in the era of leucodepletion? #bbts2017

Failures in leucocyte reduction occur, risk of TaGvHD are significant. Unlikely the requirement will be dropped any time soon #bbts2017

Duty of Candour applies when non irradiated blood is given to a patient with an indication. How do you counsel a patient? #bbts2017

Risk of TaGvHD is very very low. But consequences dire. Difficult conversation to have #bbts2017

How can we be sure deteriorating sick patients are not deteriorating because of TAGvHD? Are we picking up every case that occurs? #bbts2017
