Time for another BTLP-TACT exercise. I
was given two cases:
18673 – a ninety-three year-old woman in
out patients requiring group & save
She grouped as O Rh(D) Positive with a
negative antibody screen
14253 – a forty-two year-old woman
needing two units of blood for tomorrow
The control being positive invalidates the
entire group
The antibody screen was positive in cell
1. I performed antibody panels.
The IAT and enzyme panels were positive in cells 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10
This looks like anti Jk(b) but doesn’t exclude Lu(a) or Kp(a)
Bearing in mind there was no suitable blood available I was bound to get a red light…
What was I supposed to do?
