Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury in a Patient with Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia Having Anti-IgA2m(1) Antibody

Abstract

A 69-year-old man with acute myelogenous leukaemia developed a transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). He had anti-IgA2m(1) antibody rather than other antibodies that have previously been reported to be related to TRALI. This case suggests that the pre-existing condition of patients may be important in the development of TRALI.
