Prevalence of anti-A and anti-B hemolysis among blood group O donors in Lagos

Abstract: Anti-A and anti-B hemolysins exist in significant frequencies and titers among blood group O donors in Lagos. It is recommended that the use of group O donor blood for recipients who are non-O be discouraged. Clinical studies to determine the frequency and severity of hemolysis in non-group O recipients of blood group O are required.

“…Thus, anti-A hemolysins have a higher prevalence than anti-B hemolysins. 37 The antigenicity of antigen A decreases in the AB blood group including A and B antigens together. This is reflected in the haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN).…”

“…6 El antígeno A tiene una mayor antigenicidad que el antígeno B. Por lo tanto, la hemolisina anti-A tiene una prevalencia más alta que la hemolisina anti-B. 37 La antigenicidad del antígeno A disminuye en el grupo sanguíneo AB, incluidos los antígenos A y B juntos. Esto se refleja en la enfermedad hemolítica del recién nacido (EHRN).…”

“…In our study, 16.5% of group O donors were shown to have HT antibodies. Haemolysins naturally vary in individuals but additional factors thought to affect haemolysin levels include: ethnicity,10 oral intake of probiotics,11 travel and predeployment immunisation 8. The last two factors are pertinent to the military.…”
