In an analysis of a large French hemovigilance database (2004-2014), hypersensitivity transfusion reactions (HTRs) due to IgA deficiency were extremely rare with an frequency far lower than reported so far. In depth investigation of HTRs for IgA deficiency should be limited to moderate to severe recurrent reactions.
