Blood components should be compatible both with the recipient and the donor in the ABO incompatible allogeneic stem cell transplantation setting. A patient with blood type A2 received peripheral blood stem cells from a blood type O donor. The patient was in critical condition due to treatment-related toxicity. He had acquired anti-A1 that was unfortunately overlooked. Following transfusion of A1 red blood cells in error, he developed a severe hemolytic transfusion reaction. Anti-A1 is rarely clinically significant. We discuss the role of passenger lymphocytes in development of the anti-A1, and stress the importance of investigating unusual/atypical reactions in blood typing.

Complement-Mediated Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Due to MCP/CD46 Mutation: A Case Report.
J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep

Marshall University, Huntington, WV, USA.
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a severe condition characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and end-organ damage, often involving the kidneys. Complement-mediated hemolytic uremic syndrome (cHUS), a rare form of TMA, arises from dysregulated alternative complement pathway activation, frequently due to genetic mutations. We report the case of a 23-year-old male presenting with TMA secondary to a heterozygous mutation in the membrane cofactor protein (MCP/CD46) gene.

Background: Systemic inflammatory diseases (SIDs) have been reported in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), but clinical data in children are scarce.
Objectives: To identify clinical and laboratory features at diagnosis of SID in children with SCD and to describe their evolution.
Methods: Data from children with SCD and SIDs were retrospectively collected in a French multicenter study from 1991 to 2018.
Background: Urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) is a biomarker for the early diagnosis of AKI.
Objectives: To evaluate uNGAL in dogs with non-associative immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) and to evaluate whether uNGAL correlates with disease severity markers, negative prognostic indicators and outcome.
Animals: Twenty-two dogs with non-associative IMHA and 14 healthy dogs.

The overprescription of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture has accelerated the development and spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which severely limits the arsenal available to clinicians for treating bacterial infections. This work discovered a new class of heteroarylcyanovinyl quinazolones and quinazolone pyridiniums to surmount the increasingly severe bacterial resistance. Bioactive assays manifested that the highly active compound exhibited strong inhibition against MRSA and with extremely low MICs of 0.

Unlabelled: Spondyloenchondrodysplasia (SPENCD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized with skeletal dysplasia, immune dysregulation, and neurological impairment. Patients diagnosed with SPENCD at a single pediatric hematology center were included in the study. The patients' clinical characteristics, symptoms at presentation, imaging and laboratory results, and genetic analysis results were collected retrospectively from their files.
