A premature neonate was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The blood bank performed a neonatal antibody profile consisting of blood type, antibody screen, and a direct antiglobulin test. The neonate phenotypes as group A, D-positive.the antibody screen is negative. The doctor placed a transfusion order for 20 mL of RBCs. 1. Can this neonate receive type-specific RBC products? 2. If the baby had a passive maternal ABO antibody, what blood group would be compatible with the neonate?
A 60-year-old woman with anemia is admitted to the hospital. Her hematocrit is 17% and she has been experiencing subtle gastrointestinal bleeding over many weeks. Her physician requests 4 units of red blood cells for transfusion. The patient’s RBCs phenotyped as group AB, D-positive. Her antibody screen is negative on the sample drawn in the emergency room, but her records indicate a previously detected anti-E. Only three group AB, D-positive red blood cell units are available in the blood bank’s inventory. The blood bank’s inventory contains RBC donor units of all ABO and D types.Having located 6 E-negative donor units, you perform crossmatching on the units. One of the units is incompatible in the antiglobulin phase (2+). The physician is becoming insistent on beginning the transfusion, since the patient is having some shortness of breath.How do you respond to the physician’s request?List several reasons to explain the one incompatible donor unit.What additional testing do you…

A 12-year-old girl has the sudden onset of severe abdominal pain and back pain. On physical examination her abdomen is diffusely tender, but there are no masses. She is afebrile. A CBC shows Hgb 6.5 g/dL, Hct 19.0%, MCV 99 fL, platelet count 149,000/microliter, and WBC count 11,200/microliter. Examination of her peripheral blood smear shows nucleated RBCs and sickled RBCs. Which of the following types of gene mutation is she most likely to have? O Insertion • Missense O Nonsense O Splice site O Duplication O Deletion.

Xin’s blood was drawn and testing was conducted. His hematocrit was 45% and white-blood cell count was 2,500 white-blood cells/mm3, with the differential showing neutrophils 65%, lymphocytes 25%, monocytes 10%. A biopsy was taken of one of the discolored lesions and cell culture. After three days of growth the cells were confirmed as coming from malignant cancerous tissue. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the area around the skin lesions on Xin’s inner thigh revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a sign of potential metastasis. DNA sequencing of the lesion biopsy revealed DNA consistent with human herpesvirus 8, known as Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, leading to the diagnosis of Kaposi’s sarcoma. - What Disorders can be ruled in and out from this diagnosis?
