Abstract
A patient suffering from delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction with a nti-Jk(b) erythrocyte antibody after open heart surgery is reported on . On preoperation evaluation, a 42-year-old woman who had never been t ransfused exhibited a negative erythrocyte autoantibody. After the ope ration of aortic valve replacement and open mitral commisurotomy, she developed a severe hemolytic anemia with a positive rare anti-Jk(b) er ythrocyte antibody on the 14th postoperative day. Precautions are disc ussed which need to be taken to distnguish delayed hemolytic transfusi on reaction from mechanical hemolysis caused by extracorporeal circula tion and prostheses.
