Expiration Date: Dec 31, 2023


Credits: None available.

In this session, our first presenter will discuss an unique algorithm for selecting compatible platelets for alloimmune refractory patients. The second presenter will review recent research on ABO antibodies and the differential susceptibility of ABO blood groups to COVID-19.
