Abstract
Introduction: The study on prevalence of weak RhD( Du ) antigen among Rh negative ABO blood groups in healthy blood donors at blood bank of Tripura Medical College & DR BRAM Teaching Hospital, Tripura, over a period of last 4 years (January 2015 to February 2019). Methods and Materials: it is a retrospective study over last 4 years( 2015 January to 2019 February) done at blood bank of Tripura Medical College among voluntary blood donors. Blood samples that were negative for RhD by immediate spin tube method were tested for weak D by indirect antiglobulin test. Result: Among the total 172 RhD negative blood donors 3 were weak D antigen positive Conclusion: weak D antien detection is important as it is immunogenic and responsible for producing alloimmunisation, if transfused to RhD negative individuals. Moreover it s necessary to detect weak D antigen in individuals who are negative with saline anti D.
