ABSTRACT
Introduction: Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) is an adverse reaction to blood transfusion. Reported risk in TRALI per blood component issued prior to 2004 in the UK was 1:556,000 per red cells in optimal additive solutions, German informs 1: 5000 with a mortality who reported fatality cause rate of 6 to 9%. In the USA, from 2004 to 2006 TRALI has been the first cause of death associated with blood transfusion. In Mexico, there is not statistical published information.
Clinical case: GSM is a 38 years old female patient, with a diagnosis of colon cancer, who presented an adverse reaction to the transfusion in July 27, 2008 at 20:45 hours whith a concentrate to red cells concentrate transfusion (approximately 50 mL) group O Rh (o) D: positive, 30 minutes later she presented: cough, bronchial secretion, difficulty breath, tremors and shivers; the transfusion was suspended. Vital signs: (before and during) blood pressure: 110/70 mmHg, cardiac frequency: 80 per minute and temperature: 37.5 °C. The medical treatment to the patient was based on hydrocortisone sodium succinate 100 mg and diphenhydramine hydrochloride 25 mg both intravenosous and oxygen therapy, yielding partially the clinical course in 24 hours. Transfusion antecedents: 10 concentrates of red blood cells in the period that includes from 2000 to 2008. Laboratory.
Results: blood biometry with 13.8 x 10
3 uL leukocytes, blood chemistry and hepatic tests (inside reference limits) urine with leukocyturia and bacteria. Serum albumin was 3.3 g/dL (value of reference 3.9 to 5.0 g/dL). Leukocyte antibodies positive and linfocitoxicity positive. Basal HLA class I positive %PRA 84 and basal HLA class II positive %PRA 74%. X-ray of thorax: normal.
Conclusion: With the signs and clinical symptoms and the positive panel, there might establish a diagnosis of a possible TRALI (classification of cases according to Canadian Consensus Criteria) and for Council of Europe the severity scale: 2 and imputability scale: 3.
