Adverse reactions due to transfusions, such as transfusion-transmitted infections, can affect the rest of their lives. In this systematic review, we revised the literature concerning transfusion-transmitted infection in neonates.

Moreover, we illustrated strategies for mitigating transfusion-transmitted infections, including donor selection and testing, pathogen inactivation technologies and combined approaches, as for Cytomegalovirus infection, integrating leukoreduction and identification of seronegative donors.
