Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is associated with administration of all plasma containing blood products. We present a 14-year-old adolescent diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura who developed acute respiratory insufficiency compatible with TRALI within 5 hr following intravenous anti-D. Full blown noncardiogenic pulmonary edema was noted after 9 hr. Mechanical ventilation was not required and the patient made a full recovery after 36 hr. Analysis of the anti-D preparation revealed reactivity against the neutrophil FcgammaRIIIb. A postinfusion serum sample contained antibodies against class I human HLA-A11 antigen. Clinicians should consider TRALI in patients developing unexplained dyspnea after receiving intravenous anti-D.

Variations and Opportunities in Postnatal Management of Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn.

Importance: Preventive efforts in pregnancy-related alloimmunization have considerably decreased the prevalence of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). International studies are therefore essential to obtain a deeper understanding of the postnatal management and outcomes of HDFN. Taken together with numerous treatment options, large practice variations among centers may exist.

Left untreated, this may lead to stillbirth or neonatal death. HDFN is caused when the pregnant woman's antibodies cross the placenta, enter the baby's circulation, and attach to proteins called antigens (inherited from the father) on the baby's haemoglobin containing red blood cells, and cause them to break apart, causing fetal anaemia.

Introduction: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) occurs in 0.7-5.6% of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, especially from unrelated or haploidentical donor or after lympho-depleted transplant; the majority of cases are represented by warm AIHA, occurring in a full donor chimerism setting.

The rhesus factor D (RhD)-negative patients who give birth to an RhD-positive newborn or who are otherwise exposed to RhD-positive red blood cells are at risk of developing anti-D antibodies. These antibodies may cause hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). During pregnancy, prevention of alloimmunization is completed with a Rho(D) immune globulin (RhIg).

Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is caused by maternal antibodies attacking fetal blood cell antigens. Despite routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis, intrauterine transfusions (IUTs) are still needed in some HDFN cases. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on newborns with HDFN born in the 1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Medical University of Warsaw.
