[Detection of anti-IgA alloantibody in a case of non-hemolytic transfusion reaction].

A 59-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome exhibited unticaria, dyspnea, fever, and hypotension immediately after the start of platelet concentrate (PC) transfusion on the 15th day of hospitalization. On the 17th and 21st day of hospitalization, the patient exhibited severe unticaria resembling that of erythroderma after the start of PC transfusion. Anti-IgA IgG antibody was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on the 28th day of hospitalization. Anti-IgA (purified from pooled human plasma) was detected by Western blotting. The patient's IgA level was normal. No antibodies against HLA or platelet-specific antigens were detected in serum. The patient had no reaction to administration of washed PC. These findings suggest that anti-IgA antibody might have been responsible for the nonhemolytic transfusion reaction in this patient.

Mimicking anti-S simulating a delayed transfusion reaction.

An autoantibody mimicking anti-S specificity is described in an S-s+ patient. The antibody was detected 2 weeks after transfusion. The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) was positive and the antibody was thought to be an alloantibody formed after the transfusion. Eighteen months later, the DAT was still positive and anti-S could be eluted from the patient's red blood cells in spite of the fact that these were S-s+. The autoantibody was characterized as mimicking anti-S specificity by in vitro absorption studies. It was present during the 3 years in which the patient was observed without causing hemolitic anemia.
