Hemolytic transfusion reaction

B.

Pernicious anemia

Angioedema

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A.    Hemolytic transfusion reaction: Administering the wrong blood type can lead to a hemolytic transfusion reaction, where the immune system attacks the transfused red blood cells, causing serious complications.
B.    Pernicious anemia: Pernicious anemia is related to a lack of intrinsic factor and vitamin B12 absorption, not blood transfusions.
C.    Angioedema: Angioedema involves swelling of the skin or mucous membranes, typically due to allergic reactions, not blood transfusions.
D.    Contact dermatitis: Contact dermatitis is a skin condition caused by direct contact with allergens, irritants, or chemicals, not by blood transfusions.
