Suspected Anti-G antibody in pregnant women: Report of two cases
Journal Title: Pathology And Laboratory Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction : Anti-G is one of the cause of Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN), either alone or in association with anti-C, anti-D or both. The antibody mimics a pattern of anti-C & anti-D reactivity in identification panel & is often present with one or both these antibodies. Differentiation amongst all three antibodies in routine pretransfusion workup is essential in antenatal cases. Case report : We report 2 cases where either anti-G or combination of anti-C & anti-D is suspected on advanced immunohematology workup. The HDFN can be largely attributed to the probable presence of anti-G in both the cases. Confirmation of the antibody can be done by adsorption & elution methods.
