    (Galenos Publishing House, 2020) Polat A.Ç.; Yiǧit Y.; Önder E.N.A.; Yildirim A.T.; Ertan P.; Gülen H.
    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 and exhibited a dramatic response with early systemic steroid treatment. ©Copyright 2020 by Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics and Ege Children's Foundation.
