Transfusion of a patient with an auto-immune hemolytic anemia, after screening by the test tube method in a low resource setting.
Keywords:
Auto-immune Hemolytic Anemia, Maximum thermal reactivity
Abstract
A six year male was diagnosed with Right sided Pneumonia with pleural effusionand clinical presentation of autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The blood sample tothe blood center showed auto-agglutination. Blood grouping and cross-matchingfollowed, with an objective of transfusing the most compatible blood unit to thispatient, in a low resource Blood storage center setting.
