A 52-year-old male presented to the emergency department complaining of muscle pain and weakness for the last two day. He also noticed that his urine is becoming dark (red to brown). The patient has no history of accidents or trauma and no symptoms of anemia. The patient is known to have history of hypertension, Type II diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and ischemic heart disease. 5-weeks before he came to the emergency he had suffered a myocardial infarction. He was treated in the intensive care unit for two weeks. He recovered well and was discharged with his regular medications except that oral atorvastatin 40 mg/day was added. At that time doctors explained to him that it was becoming more difficult to control his cholesterol levels using dietary measures only, thus they added the new medicine. On examination his muscles were painful to pressure (tenderness). He has no jaundice or abnormal skin coloration. He has no signs of anemia. The blood testing results including blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and total bilirubin levels are all normal. Kidney function tests and urine analysis were ordered and the treating doctor is awaiting results.

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?
