Case report demonstrates severe dengue transmission via transfusion in stem cell transplant recipient, indicating serious risks during outbreaks.
Transfusion-transmitted dengue remains a relevant risk during outbreaks. We report a transfusion-transmitted severe dengue case in a stem cell transplant recipient during the 2024 epidemic in Brazil, supported by phylogenetic linkage, evolving to a fatal outcome. This sentinel case highlights the potential severity of transfusion-transmitted dengue, particularly in immunocompromised hosts.
