1ºC increase in temp or shivering towards the end of transfusion or up to 2 h post transfusion.
Other causes of fever are eliminated

Secondary to antileukocyte antibodies present in the recipient's plasma directed against antigens present on WBCs

Neonate do not produce red blood cells antibodies.
FNHTR is rear in neonates
Allergic reactions are rare TRALI is very rare ,one report associated with a maternal-infant transfusion
Hemolysis related to T-antigen activation is a rare complication of sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis in infant.
T-GVHD, typically occurs in severely immunocompromised patients, low birth, weight and intrauterine or exchange transfusion

Volume over load is a common problem in neonatal period.
Metabolic complication may be encountered in neonates more than adult.
CMV virus transmission through blood was documented by Yeager et al in 1981 , leucoreduction reduced the risk

Conclusions
Blood is a biological substance and may never be entirely risk – free, however the risk is low compared to other kind of risks
Some are relatively common and should never occur Some are relatively common and should never occur (IBCT) the rate can be reduced in a simple way and at low (IBCT) the rate can be reduced in a simple way and at low costcost
Others are very seldom, but create a lot of fear (HIVOthers are very seldom, but create a lot of fear (HIV))They can be avoided only in a complicated expensive wayThey can be avoided only in a complicated expensive way
