DELAYED HEMOLYTIC TRANSFUSION REACTION (DHTR) DUE TO ANTI-E AND ANTI-Dib ANTIBODIES: A CASE REPORT

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-Jk(a).

BACKGROUND Kidd antibodies are very heterogeneous and difficult to detect. They have been frequently implicated in delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTRs). CASE REPORT A 64 year old female (6 pregnancies, 2 deliveries, 4 abortions) with none red cell (RBC) transfusions in the history was admitted to hospital due to pneumonia and severe anemia. On admittance hemoglobin (Hb) level was 6...

Hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-A.

Hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-IH.

BACKGROUND Anti-IH is usually a clinically insignificant antibody that may complicate a serologic workup. However, it can occasionally cause hemolysis. We report a rare case of acute hemolysis caused by anti-IH. CASE REPORT A 60-year-old man with a long history of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and anemia, blood group A, D+ was found to have an unidentified antibody on serologic workup. He r...

A case of acute hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-Dia antibody -A case report-

Many medical institutions in Korea have recently been performing an antibody screening test as one of the essential elements of a pre-transfusion test. The Di(a) antigen is well known as one of the antigens with low incidence among Caucasians; however, it has been discovered with a relatively higher incidence among Mongoloid populations. The frequency of the Di(a) antigen among the Korean popul...

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 ...
