DELAYED HEMOLYTIC TRANSFUSION REACTION DUE TO ANTI-C AND ANTI-e ANTIBODY

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-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...

Hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-A.

Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions due to multiple alloantibodies including anti-E, anti-c and anti-Jkb.

We report a case of two consecutive episodes of acute hemolytic transfusion reactions (HTRs) due to multiple alloantibodies in a 34-yr-old man who suffered from avascular necrosis of left femoral head. He received five units of packed red blood cells (RBCs) during surgery. Then the transfusion of packed RBCs was required nine days after the surgery because of the unexplained drop in hemoglobin ...

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 ...
