Im no doctor but like to share my experience.

My 17 year daughter is diagnosed with ITP. Last year she experienced her first blood transfussion. The adverse effect were severe. She was shiverring and almost lost conciousness. Rushed to ICU to be stabalized. 3 hours later the doctors tried a 2nd attempt and everything was smooths ailing...no side effects.

Just recently, she had to go through another platelet tarnsfussion due to a fever which caused her platelets to reduce tremendously. After about 2 minutes as the platelet entered her system, she started coughing, felt sharp sparks in her face, vommitted, BP dropped to almost zero, in a state of shock..and immediatedly rushed to ICU.

It was a terrible experience as blood transfusion will safe life but theri effects can sometimes be fatal.

My daughter is well now with the help of prednisolone and steroids.
