Very rarely it may arise in apparently immuno-competent individuals. A case is reported of TA-GVHD in a non-immunocompromised ...

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...
متن کاملTransfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease.
Transfusion associated graft versus host disease (TA-GVHD) results from engraftment of viable donor T-lymphocytes in recipient that can not recognize or destroy them. It is seen in immunocompromised patients and pre-mature neonates. It can also occur in immunocompetent individuals receiving blood from first-degree relatives. It has emerged as single most common cause of death resulting from tra...
