Transfusion‐Associated Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease in Pediatric Patients: Clinical Features and Outcomes
TA-GVHD, although less frequently encountered than in previous years, is still a concern. Early suspicion of TA-GVHD is mandatory due to its high mortality rates and rapid progression. Prevention by using irradiated blood products is the sole effective measure against this condition. Failing to identify and preempt TA-GVHD not only jeopardizes patient survival but also underscores the critical importance of vigilant monitoring and proactive intervention in at-risk patients.
