Jenny G. received a transfusion of 3 units of Packed Red Blood Cells last year. She has been readmitted to the hospital and is anemic (HGB 7.1 g/dL) and has a positive antibody screen in AHG with cells I and II and her autocontrol is positive. Her panel shows agglutination in AHG for all 10 panel cells. She types as A positive. What do these results suggest? How could you determine if this patient has an alloantibody?

Apart from suffering from recurrent and prolonged infections, Marie Curie experienced the following signs and symptoms: fatigue, rapid heart rate, pale skin, easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, and dizziness. Bone marrow transplant was not an option at that time and so blood transfusion was the treatment of choice. Assume her blood group was A negative. Which blood groups can she receive? Which blood groups can she not receive? Explain why. Thank you
Yasuo Yamagata, a 63-year-old, experienced severe back pain for several weeks before visiting his family physician. He also complained of fatigue and looked pale. Blood analysis revealed a red blood cell count of 3.2 × 106/μl (normal 4.2–5.0 × 106/μl), a white blood cell count of 2800/μl (normal 5000/μl), a sedimentation rate of 30 mm/h (normal <20 mm/h) and a serum IgG of 4500 mg/dl (normal 600–1500 mg/dl). IgA and IgM levels were well below normal. Skeletal survey showed lytic lesions in vertebrae, ribs and skull. A bone marrow sample revealed 75% infiltration with plasma cells. Elevated protein in urine was confirmed to be Bence-Jones protein (immunoglobulin light chains). The patient was diagnosed with IgG λ multiple myeloma and began an immediate chemotherapy regime. Which of the following would be consistent with this type of malignant tumor of plasma cells? a. Serum IgG is polyclonal. b. Anemia and neutropenia are present as the result of plasma-cell infiltration in the…
