HCM CITY: Three Vietnamese donors with a rare blood type have helped save the life of a 64-year-old British man with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
The man was taken to Cho Ray Hospital in HCM City for emergency treatment on March 17. Doctors said as he suffered the ITP and high blood pressure and was at risk of intracerebral haemorrhage, he needed an urgent platelet transfusion.
