We describe a young child who experienced an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction by an unusual autoanti-I. The IgM autoanti-I was detected at 4degreeC (titer 256) and also reacted at 30degreeC. This case highlights the potential hazard of transfusing units of blood immediately upon removal from the blood refrigerator, especially into neonates and children of small stature.}, keywords = {*Anemia, Hemolytic, Autoimmune/bl [Blood], *Anemia, Hemolytic, Autoimmune/im [Immunology], *Autoantibodies/bl [Blood], *Blood Group Incompatibility/bl [Blood], *Cold Temperature/ae [Adverse Effects], *I Blood-Group System/im [Immunology], Acute Disease, Autoantibodies/ae [Adverse Effects], Blood Group Incompatibility/co [Complications], Blood Grouping and Crossmatching, Cells, Cultured, Child, False Positive Reactions, Guidelines as Topic, Humans, Male, Protein Binding, Reproducibility of Results}, isbn = {1930-3955}, author = {Win, Nay and Needs, Malcolm and Rahman, Sally and Gold, Philip and Ward, Susan} }
