Four cases of posttransfusion graft-versus-host disease are reported. Three were caused by high-dose transfusion of non-irradiated fresh blood during open-heart surgery and 1 by the contaminated lymphocytes in packed red blood cells transfused for renal injury. In 1 patient, change of HLA type of peripheral lymphocytes was demonstrated.
