Background: At the regional transfusion service in the Region of Southern Denmark, serological investigations are primarily carried out using column agglutination techniques. This case study examines an unusual instance of reagent interference in pretransfusion testing using column agglutination at the Hospital of Southern Denmark, Aabenraa.
Case Presentation: A 72-year-old male patient presented for pretransfusion testing prior to hernia surgery.

Hapten immunoassays have found extensive application across various domains such as disease diagnostics, environmental monitoring, as well as the evaluation of food and pharmaceutical safety. These techniques traditionally rely on competitive assay formats and often face challenges with sensitivity and specificity. This review focuses on the emergent noncompetitive immunoassay technologies that promise to transcend these limitations through innovative approaches.

Monitoring belimumab concentrations in patients can be a valuable tool for assessing treatment response and for personalizing drug doses. Various assay formats may be used to measure concentrations of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. A particularly useful format involves the use of anti-idiotype monoclonal antibodies, selected to be highly specific to the antibody of interest.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a common term for several disorders that differ from one another in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatment. Management of patients with AIHA has become increasingly evidence-based in recent years. While this development has resulted in therapeutic improvements, it also carries increased requirements for optimal diagnosis using more advanced laboratory tests.
