In this nested case-control study, we quantified relative alloimmunisation risks for patients receiving red cell units during an infectious episode, according to the type of infection, its intensity, and the patient's inflammatory response to it. Using this design, we compared patients who developed red cell alloantibodies following transfusion with non-alloimmunised controls on the basis of supposed causal attributes, including various types of infections. In conclusion, our data suggest a potential risk modifying influence of infection-associated inflammation on red cell alloimmunisation in transfused patients. ./cache/cord-351319-ylg93l9q.txt ./txt/cord-351319-ylg93l9q.txt
