Abstract

Authors found anti-Wra antibody in a 44-year-old female patient with uterine myoma for the first time in Korea. Since anti-Wright antibodies have been implicated in hemolytic transfusion reactions and hemolytic disease of the newborn, Wra positive cells should be included in the antibody screening panel in Korea.
