Summary Introduction
Case summary:
In the given case, Shao-Mei and Elisha are great friends and want to donate blood and help each other someday. Shao-Mei has blood type AB Rh- (Rhesus factor) and on the other hand, Elisha has blood type O-. Shao-Mei cannot help Elisha, however, Elisha can help Shao-Mei if required.
Characters in the case:
Shao-Mei and Elisha.
Adequate information:
Shao-Mei has blood type AB Rh- and Elisha has O Rh-.
To determine:
The reason for the impracticability of blood transfusion from an AB Rh- (Rhesus factor) donor to an O Rh- recipient. Also, the reason for the possibility of transfusing blood to an AB Rh- from O Rh-person.

- Erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition in which the baby's blood type is different than the mother's. If the mother's blood type is A- and her firstborn's blood type is A+, the second baby to have A+ blood type will have many of its RBCs destroyed (before it is born) by the mother's antibodies which cross the placenta. This will result in which of the following?

Salmoneus, who is 60 years old, agrees to deliver Callisto to face charges for war crimes. On the way, their cart crashes down a ravine. Salmoneus has lost a lot of blood. Xena inserts a tube that allows her to transfer her blood to him. Xena is A positive and Salmoneus is O positive. Discuss if this transfusion is expected to be successful and justify your answer.
