Febrile transfusion‐associated circulatory overload in adult oncology patients
We found an association of TACO and new fever in 16% of cases compared with 32% reported in a non-exclusive oncological setting. Findings are likely related to impaired immune response present in cancer patients associated with immunosuppression. Our findings support that fever should not be used to distinguish transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) from TACO.
