Further to a Consensus Conference in Edinburgh, the UK published guidelines with indications for leucodepletion (LD) in 1998. These were:
• For intrauterine transfusions and for neonates and infants up to one year of age.
• Severe aplastic anaemia, to reduce allograft failure.
• When CMV-safe components are indicated.
• To manage/prevent febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTR) for long-term red cell transfusion-dependent patients (e.g. thalassaemics) or where the use of buffy code depleted components does not work.
