Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a non-cardiac pulmonary edema presenting with severe dyspnea, hypoxia and bilateral diffuse infiltrates on chest X-ray. It usually occurs within the first 6 hours following the administration of plasma and plasma rich blood products. Herein, we present a patient who developed TRALI shortly after plasmapheresis due to Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) and received dramatic response with early systemic steroid treatment.

Keywords: transfusion-related acute lung injury, hemolytic uremic syndrome, respiratory distress, plasmapheresis, systemic steroid treatment
