We report a case of a graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in a patient with non Hodgkin Lymphoma who received multiple blood transfusion for anemia and thrombocytopenia. Although WBC-reduction filters were used, the patient developed a transfusion associated graft-versus-host disease. We do not recommend WBC-reduction filters to prevent postransfusional-GVHD.
