Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hello, Allergic reactions to blood transfusions can range from very mild to life threatening. Yes, itching can be seen with transfusion reactions; however, if this is really "delayed," you are probably in no immediate danger of a severe reaction. Itching can also be associated with many other conditions from dry skin to drug reactions to scabies. Have your HIV specialist take a look. Good luck. Dr. Bob |
