A Fatal Transfusion Reaction Associated with Blood Contaminated with Pseudomonas fluorescens
1988
. A fatal transfusion reaction due to contamination of platelet-depleted whole blood with Pseudomonas fluorescens is reported. Routine sterility testing on blood products and environmental microbiological monitoring suggested no source for the contaminating organism, as has been the case for the majority of reported incidents of this type. The value of routine sterility testing in the prevention and investigation of such incidents is discussed.
