Abstract

A patient suffering from delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction with anti-Jkb erythrocyte antibody after open heart surgery is reported on. On preoperation evaluation, a 42-year-old woman who had never been transfused exhibited a negative erythrocyte autoantibody. After the operation of aortic valve replacement and open mitral commisurotomy, she developed a severe hemolytic anemia with a positive rare anti-Jkb erythrocyte antibody on the 14th postoperative day. Precautions are discussed which need to be taken to distinguish delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction from mechanical hemolysis caused by extracorporeal circulation and prostheses.
