Article Synopsis
- - A rare Rh variant known as DEL phenotype can lead to anti-D alloimmunization in patients typed as D-negative (D-) who receive DEL red blood cells, highlighting limitations in routine blood typing.
- - A 17-year-old D- Thai male with immunodeficiency developed anti-D antibodies after multiple transfusions, prompting an investigation of the blood donors which revealed that many were actually DEL positive despite standard D- typing.
- - This case underscores the need for enhanced blood management policies in Thailand, advocating for molecular testing to correctly identify DEL phenotypes and prevent alloimmunization in D- patients.
Background And Objectives: High-frequency antigen En (MNS 28) is expressed on glycophorin A (GPA). En(a-) individuals can form anti-En when exposed to GPA. A Thai patient formed an antibody that reacted against all reagent red blood cells (RBCs).
