ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -B positive patients can receive blood from B positive, B negative, O positive and O negative donors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Those with O positive blood can only receive transfusions from O positive or O negative blood types.

Detailed explanation-3: -An ABO incompatibility reaction can occur if you receive the wrong type of blood during a blood transfusion. It’s a rare but serious and potentially fatal response to incompatible blood by your immune system.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, if someone with Type O blood (blood with no A or B antigens on the surface of red blood cells) received red blood cells donated from someone with Type B blood (blood containing B antigens), the recipient’s immune system would immediately identify the new blood cells as foreign and seek to destroy them.

Detailed explanation-5: -If B markers (found in type B or type AB blood) enter your body, your type A immune system gets fired up against them. This means that you can only get a transfusion from someone with A or O blood, not from someone with B or AB blood.
