New: Platelets from different blood type

Hello,

My father has been recently diagnosed with MDS. His platelets were at 13 and when he went in for a platelet transfusion they did not have his blood type (O neg). Instead they had to give him O positive.

I can't find any information on whether this is dangerous or not; has this happened to anyone else?

I am in information overload and each new thing is hard to digest.

Anybody's assistance is appreciated.

Jennifer
