    Background Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a major cause of lethal side effects associated with transfusion of blood and blood components.TRALI is defined as a new acute ... noncardiogenic pulmonary oedema as seen on the frontal radiography of lungs, manifested with the shortness of breath, hypoxemia, hypotension and fever, all occurring during or within 6h after transfusion. TRALI is rarely diagnosed and can be confused with other causes of acute respiratory failure. It occurs at the ratio of 1 in 1,120 to 1in 5,000 transfusions of blood or blood components. The fatal incidence is 5%to 25% according to USA statistics. The data for Slovenia are not available as this is the first case reported ever. Case This article analyses a case of a female patient who had a hip replacement surgery, was transfused with erythrocyte components, which was followed by TRALI. Radiographs and laboratooy analysis are presented. Conclusions The recognition of symptoms of TRALI on the part of clinicians could be crucial in preventing and treating this severe complication of blood transfusion.
