Delayed Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction Due to Anti-Jsain an Alloimmunized Patient With a Sickle Cell Syndrome

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...

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction in children with sickle cell disease.

BACKGROUND Transfusion is a cornerstone of the management of sickle cell disease but carries a high risk of hemolytic transfusion reaction, probably because of differences in erythrocyte antigens between blood donors of European descent and patients of African descent. Patients may experience hemolytic transfusion reactions that are delayed by from a few days to two weeks and manifest as acute ...

Hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-A.

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction presenting as a painful crisis in a patient with sickle cell anemia.

CONTEXT Patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) are frequently transfused with red blood cells (RBC). Recently we reported that the calculated risk of RBC alloimmunization per transfussed unit in Brazilian patients with SCA is 1.15%. We describe a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR) presenting as a painful crisis in a patient with SCA. CASE REPORT A 35-year-old Brazilian female with ...

Cerebrovascular accident during a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction in a patient with sickle cell anemia.

A 28-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia suffered a left hemispheric cerebrovascular accident associated with severe right-sided weakness during a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction owing to anti-rh' (C) and anti-S. The anti-rh' (C) had been identified four years earlier at a different hospital but neither the patient, her family, nor any member of the staff of the hospital where she was...
