Abstract
TRALI (Transfusion related acute lung injury) is a devastating complication of Blood transfusions or its components irrespective of the blood grouping and cross match, We report a case of a Philipino house wife who had blood transfusion for her vaginal lacerations and developed acute pulmonary edema immediately afterwards. Antigranulocyte antibodies were not found in the donors. The patient recovered after supportive treatment. TRALI is not an uncommon complication of Blood transfusion that is under-reported and under-diagnosed.
