Blood transfusion in the clinic of children's diseases

Blood transfusion for adults is widely used, and there is a lot of data in the Soviet medical literature that comprehensively covers this issue. Unfortunately, we are still lagging behind in the matter of blood transfusions to children. Meanwhile, for a child, especially for a young child, adult blood transfusion is a powerful therapeutic tool. The blood of an adult gives the child not only the missing red blood cells, but also immune bodies, with which the adult is in most cases richer than the child. Therefore, each blood transfusion of an adult to a child can be considered as a kind of immunotransfusion.
