Talk:Transfusion reaction

The threshold at which iron overload becomes significant is somewhat unclear??? please do more research on iron overload.

The list is confusing... it says a febrile-non-hemolytic reaction is the most common type, and then says that bacterial infection is a much more common problem. Clarification would be appreciated.

risk of hepatitis and HIV appear wrong to me.
I am a physician and usually the risk of Hepatitis C is considered to be be less than 1 in every 2 million blood transfusions. The risk for acquiring HIV from a single blood transfusion is similar.

Merge
I am going to merge this section into the main section in Blood transfusion because it creates a much better flow, than a solitary page with a tabular view, which I am not sure why. I may not be able to merge certain minute details such as references there but if anyone wants to merge them, please feel free. I agree with above post that certain factual information on this page is erroneous.
