12 August 2026 (Wednesday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

It’s too hot outside. I’ll do a BTLP-TACT exercise… I was presented with one case – a forty-nine year-old woman who claimed to be tired all the time. A group and save was required.
 
She grouped as A Rh(D) Positive, but it was one of those supposedly weak reactions so I called it A Rh indeterminate with the proviso that I would send it to NHSBT.
The antibody screen was positive in cell 2 so I performed antibody panels.
 
The enzyme panel was 2+ in cells 2 and 6 corresponding to anti-K, and 4+ in cells 3 and five corresponding to anti-E.
The IAT panel was 2+ in cells 2, 3, 5 and 6 corresponding to anti-K and anti-E
 
I got the thumbs-up.
