Report of two cases of anti-M antibody in antenatal patients

Abstract: Anti-M is a relatively common naturally occurring antibody reacting optimally at 4°C and weakly or nonreactive at 37°C. It is usually clinically insignificant but can be active at 37°C because of thermal amplitude of IgM component or presence of IgG component. It can cause or delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of newborn. At our center we have encountered two cases of anti-M antibodies- one presenting as crossmatch incompatibility and other as blood grouping discrepancy in the last 8 … Show more

“…Sin embargo, la preocupación aparece en aquellos casos de transfusiones o gestaciones que generan aloinmunización con el anti-M de tipo IgG. Los casos de enfermedad hemolítica perinatal causados por el anti-M, se caracterizan por la gran variabilidad de sus manifestaciones clínicas, por ejemplo, mujeres con antecedentes de abortos repetidos en gestaciones superiores a las 20 semanas 6 , 12 , y neonatos con anemia progresiva e hiperbilirrubinemia 6 , incluso en aquellos sin afectación evidente, prueba de Coombs directa levemente positiva y ausencia de anemia 1 .…”

“…El sistema sanguíneo MNS, a excepción del antígeno S o s, es considerado clínicamente significativo en medicina transfusional dada su naturaleza de generar anticuerpos IgM y el riesgo potencial de causar reacción hemolítica post transfusional. La incidencia del Antígeno M es del 75% en la población mundial, y la incidencia de anti-M como Aloanticuerpo (Alo-Ac) en donantes es 1 en 2500 individuos (1)(2)(3). Los aloanticuerpos del sistema MNS que ocurren de forma natural fueron descritos por Wolff y Johnsson en 1933 (4), estos anticuerpos parecen tener mayor prevalencia en infantes que en adultos siendo producto de reacción cruzada tras la exposición poblacional a virus y bacterias, y son anticuerpos tipo IgM sin significado clínico.…”

“…However, the clinical manifestations, serological characteristics, and treatment strategies for anti‐M‐HDFN differ from those for HDFN associated with other blood type systems. In the anti‐M‐HDFN case, a negative elution test and direct antiglobulin test (DAT) can be observed, and bilirubin and severe anemia may not be obvious, thereby leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis 3–8 . To better summarize and identify the characteristics of HDFN, we analyzed the data of 17 infants with anti‐M‐HDFN which a sample size larger treated at our hospital between 2013 and 2019, and compared them with those of infants with HDFN involving the ABO blood group system (ABO‐HDFN), infants with HDFN involving the Rh system (anti‐D‐HDFN), and premature infants with the same gestational age who were randomly selected during the same period.…”
