Abstract
Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) and transfusion associated NEC (TANEC) are potentially life-threatening complications of blood component transfusion. These are relatively under diagnosed entity in neonates with scant literature. We report a case of TRALI and TANEC in a relatively stable preterm newborn developing acute respiratory distress and abdominal distension within few hours of blood product transfusion.
