Özet

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a life-threatening adverse effect of transfusion that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all patients who develop respiratory distress during or within 6 h of transfusion. Two children with TRALI are presented and the diagnosis, pathophysiology, treatment, and need for understanding and recognition to reduce morbidity and mortality are discussed.
