Haemovigilance is an important aspect of transfusion science concerning the minimization of adverse effects and adverse events. One of the more serious complications following a blood transfusion is a haemolytic transfusion reaction, where donor blood contains antibodies incompatible with patient blood. The adverse event occurs when red blood cells given during the transfusion are destroyed by the recipient’s immune system.
Coeliac disease is a T-cell-mediated chronic autoimmune disease which effects the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine due to surface inflammation. The symptoms are caused by disease-specific antibodies against endomysium or tissue transglutaminase, which inflict damage to the lining of the intestine upon ingestion of gluten. Commonly reported symptoms include stomach pain and cramping, nausea, ongoing fatigue, constipation, diarrhoea, weight loss, mouth ulcers and bloating.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a highly sensitive technique to amplify a single copy of DNA into millions to billions of copies of a targeted sequence. Whilst its sensitivity is advantageous it can also create a number of issues if the correct contamination control is not followed. During PCR, even the smallest amount of contaminating DNA can be amplified resulting in the wrong template amplification and causing false positive or ambiguous results. Contamination can arise from work surfaces, equipment or reagents which have been exposed to PCR products. To minimize the risk of contamination there are several preventative methods and aseptic techniques which must be carefully performed.
