Quoted from the NIH: Normally, the immune system helps protect the body, but with Crohn's disease the immune system can't tell the difference between normal body tissue and foreign substances. The result is an overactive immune response that leads to chronic inflammation. I have never heard someone say Crohn's isn't an autoimmune disease.
For the neonate with FMAIT, platelet transfusion is the treatment of choice and should be given to normalise the platelet count in an infant with ICH or to treat severe throbmobocytopaenia in infants without ICH. Platelets used for neonates with FMAIT should be negative for the implicated platelet-specific antigen.
Infuse Platelets as Slowly as Medically Necessary. Bacterial contamination of platelet products is a serious risk of transfusion. Common nursing transfusion practice today is to infuse platelet products within an hour from start time. There is no scientific evidence supporting this practice. Nurses have long been advised by Laboratorians and blood bankers to transfuse platelets âas rapidly as toleratedâ by the patient.
