A 42 year old woman was introduced to the Emergency Room with complaints of abdominal pain for the past few days. She was also reported her stools have been black and sticky. She suspected to have GI (gastro-intestinal) bleeding. According to her medical history, she was transfused with 2 units washed packed RBCs 6 months ago for the same symptoms. The CBC results were:
WBCs: 5.7 X 103/µl
RBCs: 2.95 X 106/µl
HGB: 6.3g/dL
Hematocrit: 19.8%
According to her anemic condition, she was admitted to the hospital for treatment and given 3 units of packed RBCs (each blood unit should increase hemoglobin level by 1g/dL, but she was given 3 units since she had an active GI bleeding). She is type B positive with a negative antibody screening {1} which means no antibodies were observed in her plasma. The 3 units were cross-matched and transfused without adverse reactions. One day later, she was discharged. Two days after discharge, she returned to the Emergency Room with yellowish eyes and skin (jaundice). The CBC at this time showed HGB = 5.8g/dL and elevated bilirubin level indicated hemolysis of RBCs. She was ordered with 2 units of packed red blood cells. At this time, the antibody screen was now positive {2}. Anti-JKb was found in her plasma and positive DAT was observed.
She was diagnosed with a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR) due to anti-JKb
1. Discuss this condition DHTR?
2. Why the first antibody screening {1} was negative? (Knowing that anti-JKb was present in her plasma from exposure of JKb positive blood via previous blood transfusion according to her medical history)? However, it is really negative since no immediate HTR was observed
3. Why the second antibody screening{2} becomes positive after blood transfusion?
4. If DAT was performed by gel-method, and positive mixed field result was observed. What does this mean?

3d. A case-control study was performed to determine whether head injury was associated with an increased risk of brain tumors in children. Two hundred (200) cases with brain cancer were identified from the state cancer registry, and 200 controls were recruited from the same neighborhoods where the cases lived. The mothers of the children completed a questionnaire that asked them to describe their child’s past history of head injury. The investigators found that the mothers of the children with brain tumors reported a past head injury for 70 of the cases while a past history of head injury was reported in 30 of the controls. What type of bias was likely to have influenced the findings of this study?

ABO typing is determined by antigens located at the surface of RBCs membrane. These antigens are carbohydrates (sugars) in their structures. Different studies were reported the association between blood type and the tendency to be affected with Covid 19 (or at least the severity of symptoms in Covid positive patients vary according to their blood type).
On the other hand, blood type of person from which you get the virus plays a role in the aggressiveness of disease (this means that, if a patient with A blood type transmits the virus to type O person, the aggressiveness will not be the same as if the person getting the virus is also type A).
