Abstract
Tuberculosis stands as one of humanity's oldest afflictions, intrinsically intertwined with social disparities. This formidable disease spares no age group and remains the prevailing cause of infection-induced mortality worldwide, particularly in developing nations. We present a case of a 56-year-old woman with diabetes who was diagnosed with Pulmonary Tuberculosis. After receiving antituberculosis drugs as part of her treatment, she experienced a range of systemic manifestations and suffered from severe ulcerative esophagitis. This adverse reaction led to uncontrollable gastrointestinal intolerance, tragically resulting in her untimely demise. The incident underscores the potential seriousness of adverse reactions that can arise from tuberculosis treatment medications.

Abstract
The reporting of serious adverse events (SAE) and serious adverse reactions (SAR) is an essential part of an effective vigilance and surveillance system (V&S) in organ donation and transplantation. All SAE and SAR reported to the German organ procurement organization (DSO) between 2016 and 2022 were analyzed. In case of a possible transmission of a disease to one or more recipients, an assessment of imputability was done according to the grading system of the US Disease Transmission Advisory Committee (DTAC). 543 SAE and SAR cases were reported to the DSO and analyzed in detail. 53 of the 543 reports (9.8%) were proven or probable (P/P) transmissions of infectious diseases, malignancies or other diseases to 75 recipients. Infections were the most frequently reported P/P disease transmission occurrences (30/53, 57%). In case of disease transmission, the mortality of the recipients was high (17/75, 23%), especially when a malignant disease was transmitted (11/22, 50 %). Donor-Derived disease transmission is a rare event (53/8,519; 0.6 %), but when it occurs can lead to significant morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Platelets transfusion is a safe process, but during or after the process, the recipient may experience an adverse reaction and occasionally a serious adverse reaction (SAR). In this review, we focus on the inflammatory potential of platelet components (PCs) and their involvement in SARs. Recent evidence has highlighted a central role for platelets in the host inflammatory and immune responses. Blood platelets are involved in inflammation and various other aspects of innate immunity through the release of a plethora of immunomodulatory cytokines, chemokines, and associated molecules, collectively termed biological response modifiers that behave like ligands for endothelial and leukocyte receptors and for platelets themselves. The involvement of PCs in SARs—particularly on a critically ill patient’s context—could be related, at least in part, to the inflammatory functions of platelets, acquired during storage lesions. Moreover, we focus on causal link between platelet activation and immune-mediated disorders (transfusion-associated immunomodulation, platelets, polyanions, and bacterial defense and alloimmunization). This is linked to the platelets’ propensity to be activated even in the absence of deliberate stimuli and to the occurrence of time-dependent storage lesions.
