Expert comments for publication:
This is one of the early case reports about the diverse hemolytic reactions associated with anti-C. Two cases here demonstrated hemolgobinuria, one of which was acute while two other cases demonstrated no clinical symptoms. Rh antibodies often have the capacity to cause severe immediate or delayed extravascular hemolytic transfusion reactions and all Rh antibodies should be considered to be potentially clinically significant. Rh antibodies include: D, C, C(w), E, c, e, e(8), Ce, f, Go(a), G, V (Rh 10), Rh17, Rh29, RH19.
