Can you survive from a wrong blood type transfusion?

Answer 1

Matching a donor's blood and a patient's blood is critical in transfusions. If someone with type A blood receives type B, he may have a severe homiletic reaction. This can destroy many of his red cells and quickly kill him. While blood-typing and cross matching are now routine, errors do occur. Every year people die of homiletic reactions.

Answer 2

NO because your blood cells will see it as a threat and start attacking it, which is now your own blood- not a very good thing! However O is the 'universal' doner so it can be used on a person with any blood type.

Clarification:

Not always. Doctors can treat mismatched blood transfusion, sometimes by doing a whole body transfusion of the correct type. This is a serious thing, and should be avoided at all costs. Additionally, while O Negative is the universal donor, there are other blood factors that should be considered, and there is a class of people, the Bombay Blood Group, with the hh antigen system, that can only receive blood of type hh. Also, the concept of O Negative as the universal donor only applies to packed red blood cells - the reactions to plasma are backwards, so whole blood MUST be typed and cross-matched.
