Résumé
Bacterial contamination of plasma is unusual owing to frozen storage nevertheless reported. We report a case of transfusion transmitted infection due to Burkholderia cepacia contaminating fresh frozen plasma. A 31 year old male with decompensated chronic liver disease presented with breathlessness due to pleural effusion. Due to elevated prothrombin time, fresh frozen plasma was infused. After ten minutes of transfusion, he became febrile, tachypnoeic and transfusion was stopped. Plasma bag and blood cultures from patient grew B. cepacia. He became hemodynamically unstable due to underlying disease and died after a week.
