Abstract
Background: Alloimmunization to blood group antigens other than ABH af ter bone allografting is uncommon,To date, examples of alloimmunizatio n to blood group antigens other than ABH have been limited to the Rh s ystem. Case Report: A 20-year-old woman received an allogeneic bone gr aft following resection of an osteosarcoma, The patient had received n o blood components and denied any pregnancies, Alloimmunization was de tected and alloantibodies were identified by standard serologic techni ques; Fourteen months after the bone graft, anti-Fy(a) and anti-Jk(b) were identified in her serum. Conclusion: Alloimmunization to blood gr oup antigens other than ABO and Rh may follow bone allografting.
