Abstract:
The patient′s ABO blood type and Rh antigen phenotype were identified by monoclonal antibody serum test tube agglutination, and Rh antigen deletion was confirmed by gene sequencing.The ABO blood type and Rh antigen phenotype of the patient were identified using monoclonal antibody serum in vitro agglutination assay, and Rh antigen deletion was confirmed using gene sequencing. The Rh typing saline method showed that the patient was positive for anti D, but negative for anti E, -C, -c, and -e. The saline method for antibody screening showed negative results for cells I to III, positive results for polyamine and anti human globulin tests, positive results for antibody identification cells 1 to 16, and negative results for themselves. Direct anti globulin tests showed negative results. The sequencing results of RhC/E gene showed that exons 9-10 were normal, while exons 1-8 were missing. The patient had a deletion of exons 1-8 of the RhC/E gene, resulting in a loss of Rh antigen E/e and C/c expression. After the first random matching transfusion, the patient produced antibodies targeting E/e and C/c, resulting in an incompatibility between the main and side matching during the second infusion of red blood cell products and the inability to transfuse. In order to solve this situation, first we need to establish a rare blood group bank for Rh C/E gene deletion. Secondly, during the first blood transfusion, a small amount of RH antigen red blood cells should be injected. Stored autologous blood transfusion should also be considered.
