| description | One of the most common causes of transfusion-related deaths is bacterial infection due to contaminated blood products. Platelets are affected more than other blood products because the temperature at which platelets are stored (20 to 24 degrees Celsius) allows bacterial growth, whereas storage temperatures of other products, such as packed red blood cells (RBC) that are stored at 1 to 6 degrees Celsius, do not. [PMID: 28066700] According to the CDC, approximately 1 in 1,000-3,000 units of platelets is affected. To address this, the AABB standard 5.1.1.1 "Standards for blood Banks and Transfusion Services, 22nd edition" requires accredited institutions to implement procedures for detecting and limiting platelet bacterial contamination.
