Post-transfusion purpura and multiple transfusions.
Post-transfusion thrombocytopenic purpura (PTTP) is an acute, severe, and transient condition occurring in patients about one week after transfusion, presumably owing to a common soluble platelet antigen in the donor blood that stimulates formation of a complement-fixing isoantibody in the recipient.
