Transfusion management of patients with alloanti-Gerbich antibodies: Case report

Abstract

In cases of emergency patients with alloantibodies against high frequency Gerbich, when autologous or compatible alogenous transfusion is unavailable, blood with the lowest positive cross-match reaction could be transfused if the biological cross-match is negative. Formation of a national register of donors with rare blood groups and their connection with international registers is of crucial significance in the management of patients requiring antigen negative blood otherwise unavailable from routine blood banks.
