Abstract
TRALI is a life threatening adverse effect of transfusion. It is characterized by dyspnoea , cough and pulmonary edema within 6 hrs of transfusion. Most commonly it is caused by donor HLA antibodies that reacts with recipient antigens . It may also be caused by biologically active compounds accumulated during storage of blood products which are capable of priming neutrophils . Without a gold standard, the diagnosis of TRALI relies on high index of suspicion and on excluding other types of transfusion reactions . We report a case of TRALI in a patient who was posted for splenectomy and required blood transfusion . Patient developed acute pulmonary edema within 1 hour of commencing transfusion . This was managed with post op ventilatory support , Oxygen , Diuretics and Steroid . Patient improved rapidly and later got discharged without any complication.
