Alloimmunization against human platelet antigen 2 (HPA2) in a series of multi-transfused beta-thalassemia patients.

چکیده
In our study we investigated the presence of anti-human platelet antigen (HPA) alloantibodies in a series of 10 beta-thalassemia major patients submitted for more than 10 years to periodic blood transfusions (every 2-3 weeks). We found that 2 out of the 10 patients developed anti-HPA2a + HPA1b and anti-HPA2b antibodies. Our results highlight that HPA alloimmunization in multitransfused patients is a real possibility.

Background: Recurrent blood transfusion is a common treatment in patients with thalassemia. The development of antibodies against red blood cell (RBC) antigens complicates RBC cross-matching, enhances the in vivo destruction of transfused cells, accelerates tissue iron overloading, delays the provision of safe transfusion, and reduces health-related quality of life. Materials and Methods: In t...

Abstract Background and Objectives Alloimmunization is the most serious problem in thalassemia patients and Anti-K is the most prevalent antibody in these patients. So accurate identification of this antigen can significantly decrease the rate of alloimmunization. Serological phenotyping is usually not reliable in multi-transfused patients. Molecular genotyping can overcome limitations of hema...
