DOUBLE DELAYED HEMOLYTIC TRANSFUSION REACTIONS CAUSED BY MULTIPLE ANTIBODIES, ANTI-C, ANTI-e, ANTI-Jka, AND ANTI-P1

We report a patient who showed delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR) twice in two weeks due to multiple antibodies anti-C, -e and -Jka. The patient was a 67-year-old male with liver cirrhosis and hepatoma. The first DHTR was observed on day 7 after transfusion of 6 units of red cells for bleeding from gastric varices. Levels of both LDH and total bilirubin were remarkably increased and ...
