Linda,
Extreme sweating after a transfusion could indicate an infection even in the absence of a fever. It's common for people to have a slight fever following a transfusion and sweating can occur when the fever breaks. Night sweats are also common with MDS, but significant sweating throughout the day is a symptom worth reporting to the doctor.
Does Bob have this reaction after every transfusion or only this most recent one?
Regards,
Ruth
