Background

  • Due to granulocyte recruitment and degranulation within the lung
  • More common with FFP and platelet transfusions (extremely rare with pRBC transfusion alone)
    • pRBCs do contain residual plasma and can have TRALI

Clinical Features

Differential Diagnosis

Transfusion Reaction Types

Diagnosis

  • Time Frame: abrupt to within 6 hours of transfusion initiation
