Can you tell me how blood transfusions go wrong?

Multiple ways: The most serious of the untoward events occurs with transfusion with red cells mis-matched for ABO blood groups resulting in intravascular hemolysis. Others are volume overload, allergic reactions, febrile reaction, transmission of infections, e. g. HIV, hepatitis, lung injury and immune suppression.
