Abstract: The bacterial transfusion risk is currently the greatest infectious risk ă of blood transfusion. We report the case of a child with ă postchemotherapy febrile neutropenia who presented septic shock ă following platelet transfusion contaminated with Citrobacter koseri. The ă life threatening development could have been avoided by strict ă compliance with good clinical practice. The stability of mortality rates ă due to adverse effects of bacterial proliferation during platelet ă transfusions in France since 1994 calls for optimization of all ă preventive measures throughout the transfusion chain and perfect ă knowledge of transfusion rules by medical staff and care givers.
