ABSTRACT
We report a case of naturally occuring anti-Xga in a 22-year-old man suffering from multiple traumas, who had no past history of transfusion or transplantation. The positive reaction was detected at 37 degrees Cin the antibody screening test with LISS/Coombs card (DiaMed AG, Cressier, Morat, Switzerland), which disappeared at the enzyme phase with the NaCl/Enzyme card (DiaMed AG). The Xga antigen was negative on his red cell surfaces. The unexpected antibody was finally identified as anti-Xga. We found four of twelve units of packed red blood cells that were compatible with the patient's serum. Anti-Xga is a very rare unexpected antibody in Korea, so we need more study in order to determine incidence and the significance of this antibody.
