Variation in blood component irradiation practice: implications for prevention of transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease.
RAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE (GVHD) is comG monly observed after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), but transfusion-associated (TA) GVHD is only rarely reported. Although early reports of TAGVHD were recognized in immunocompromised hosts, more recent cases have been documented in immunocompetent transfusion recipients. The increasing awareness of this serious complication of transfusion ...

متن کاملTransfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease
Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD) is a rare but almost uniformly lethal complication of blood transfusion. Although the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that occurs after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and TA-GVHD share some clinical similarities, GVHD after bone marrow transplant is not uncommon and often responds positively to immunosuppression. The much rarer...
