    1) A 45-year-old woman is scheduled for a partial hysterectomy and had preoperative blood typing which showed an ABO discrepancy. 2) Additional testing using anti-A1 lectin on the patient's red blood cells resolved that the patient was blood type A2, not A1, as their serum contained an anti-A1 antibody. 3) O positive blood was chosen for the patient's transfusion as the patient was compatible with O positive blood and the hospital had an ample supply available.

    Exercise 4: Case Study

    Case 6-1
    A 45-year-old woman, who has given birth to three children and has a history of five cases of
    dilation and curettage, is scheduled for a partial hysterectomy at a community hospital.
    Preoperative laboratory tests include a type and screen. There is no history of transfusions.

    Part 1

    ABO and Rh Typing

    Anti-A Anti-B Anti-A,B Anti-D A1Cells B Cells


    3+ 0 3+ 3+ 2+ 4+

    1. Where is the discrepancy?

    There’s an ABO discrepancy in the reverse group due to the 2+ reaction with reagent A1
    rbcs.

    2. What testing would you perform next to resolve the discrepancy?


    You would type the patient’s rbcs with anti-A1 lectin (Dolichos biflorus).

    Part 2

    The patient’s serum was then tested with A2 cells and O cells and the patient’s red blood cells
    tested with Anti-A1 lectin.

    A2 Cells O Cells Anti-A1 Lectin


    Patient serum 0 0 Patient RBCs 0

    3. How would you interpret these results?

    The patients cell type is not A1. With the addition of serum, the antibody is not directed towards
    an alloantibody reaction. In addition, the antibody is not anti A because it would react with A2
    cells. Results indicate that the patient is most likely group A2 and formed an anti-A1.

    4. Why were O POS RBCs chosen for transfusion?


    The patient was compatible with the O positive blood and the hospital had an ample supply of O
    positive blood to give to the patient.
