Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), defined as the onset of acute respiratory distress after blood transfusion, is a rare complication which is a leading cause of transfusion related-mortality. In this retrospective study, we report the French nationwide experience of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-related TRALI, with a literature review and analysis of management and outcome of this rare condition. With the pharmacovigilance services, we conducted a retrospective multicenter study in the French network of intensive care units with TRALI concomitant to IVIG use and pooled with data from a literature review.

- Bisphosphonates, like ibandronate, are used to treat bone diseases but can cause rare skin reactions ranging from mild rashes to severe conditions like toxic epidermal necrolysis.
- Two new cases of skin lesions were observed after oral ibandronate intake, confirmed with positive prick tests and histological analysis, but did not recur after switching to another bisphosphonate.
- There is a wide variety of cutaneous reactions associated with bisphosphonates, which can be misdiagnosed due to their polymorphic nature and the potential for delayed onset.
