Abstract

If the patient has antibody to low incidence antigen providing compatible blood for transfusion is not a problem. It is however necessary to identify such antibodies to assess their potential to cause hemolytic transfusion reaction and hemolytic disease of newborn. We identified anti C^w in patient’s serum while investigating the cause of incompatible cross match in a female thalassemia patient. Anti C^w is an antibody against C^w (Rh8) antigen, which is a low incidence antigen of Rh system. This case also prompted us to study frequency of C^w antigen in our donor population as the frequency of C^w antigens in our population is not reported. Frequency of C^wantigens in north Indian donors was found to be 1.2 %.
