Time for another BTLP-TACT exercise…
The software presented me with two cases:
39592 – a seventy-five year old chap in theatre requiring group and save for a hernia repair.He grouped as O Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen
14467 – a thirty-four year old chap in out-patients (?) requiring four units of blood for a pancreatectomy
He grouped as O Rh(D) Negative with a weakly (1+) positive antibody screen. I requested antibody panels.
The enzyme panel was negative in all cells.
The IAT panel was weakly (1+) positive in cells 2 3 5 7 & 9 which corresponded with anti-S but anti-E and anti-Lu(a) couldn’t be excluded… Maybe anti-E could be from the screen, but the PC refused to show me the screen’s antigram
I got the red light…”Additional antibodies noted which were not present”. Perhaps that anti-E could have been excluded.
