“…23 In 2021, a study of Afroz etal, found that the incidence of Bombay phenotype was 0.006% in two centres of Dhaka city. 24 Recent report showed that, in Bangladesh about 40 persons had Bombay blood group, but no report or document found on the Para Bombay phenotype in this country 6,15,23 Arrangement of compatible units of blood for this critical and rare E-Beta thalassaemia patient having Para -Bombay phenotype is really challenging. 2,7, 8 21 From the above evaluation this patient should be transfused with only Bombay phenotype (Oh or OHm) type of blood (Photograph-I), Para Bombay or autologous blood for transfusion, if allo-anti -H or anti-HI in their serum is clinically significant ( i.e.…”

Human H/h genetic polymorphism in ABO blood group system is rare and evidenced with Bombay and Para-Bombay blood group. This patient a 27-year-old-young man having ‘E-Beta thalassaemia’ incidentally has been identified as a case of ‘Para-Bombay phenotype’ after exploring with proper blood grouping, antibody detection and saliva inhibition study. Previously he was diagnosed as ‘O’ RhD positive and had two events of transfusion reaction during ‘O’ positive blood transfusion. In literature search and browsing there is dearth information on Para-Bombay Phenotype with E-Beta Thalassaemia. So far to our knowledge, this is the first reported case from Bangladesh of patient having ‘E-Beta Thalassaemia’ evidenced with rare ‘Para-Bombay blood Phenotype’. This study explores the laboratory work-out on Para-Bombay Phenotype and evaluates treatment strategies on this phenotype with concomitant E-Beta Thalassaemia.
