Delayed Hemolytic Reaction Due to Anti-jka Antibodies in Thalassemic Child – A Case Report

Kidd blood group, though minor, carries a special importance in transfusion medicine. Kidd antibodies are heterogeneous, as they have a weak sociological nature and goes to undetectable levels, so may miss routine serological tests. However, they can mount a secondary amnestic reaction leading to delayed hemolytic reaction, especially in frequently transfused individuals. We report a case of thalassemia child with delayed hemolytic reaction secondary to Kidd antibodies. Conclusion: screening for Alloantibodies is of prime importance, especially in frequently transfused individuals like thalassemic children.
