Abstract
Detection of ABO blood groups through agglutination is the basis of pretransfusion
testing. However, weak agglutination reactions may be obtained
with reagent antibodies and are a result of weak expression of A and B antigens
on red blood cell surface which may cause a discrepancy in blood group typing.
Here, we report a donor which showed discrepancy between red blood cells
(forward) and serum (reverse) typing. A detailed analysis revealed the blood
type as a variant of blood group B. Subgroup of B is a very rare phenotype of
blood. This is the first case ever detected in Kurdistan blood transfusion Center.
