Abstract:BackgroundSevere T‐cell lymphopenia of uncertain clinical significance has been observed in frequent apheresis platelet donors. Two commonly used plateletpheresis instruments are the Trima Accel, which uses a leukoreduction system (LRS) chamber to trap leukocytes and the Fenwal Amicus, which does not use an LRS chamber.Study Design and MethodsWe performed an international, multicenter, observational study comparing T‐cell populations in frequent platelet donors collected exclusively using the Trima instrument … Show more
