ABSTRACT
Background: Erythrocyte isoimmunization or
alloimmunization is a late complication of transfusion, in
which antibodies against erythrocyte antigens other than
the ABO system are developed. Its prevalence is
variable, groups of patients with low prevalence (2%)
and others of high risk with more than 50% have been
described. These antibodies can have serious clinical
repercussions in transfused patients.
Objective: To know the prevalence of erythrocyte
isoimmunization, the risk factors for its development and
the types of antibodies developed in the user population
of two hospitals in Mexico.
Methods: Retrospective study. The database of the
Blood Bank and the Transfusion Service of two hospitals
was analyzed for the search of transfused patients who
developed isoantibodies from 2012 to 2016, analyzing
their background to determine the risk factors,
prevalence and type of antibodies.
Results: An isoimmunization prevalence of 0.97% was
found in 5 years; the main antibodies found were:
anti-E,
anti-K, anti-C, anti-Dia, anti-c, anti-D and
anti-Fya. The
associated risk factors for the development of
isoimmunization were: transfusion history, pregnancy
and female sex, as a finding it was found that group O is
a protective factor.
Conclusions: Erythrocyte alloimmunization in the
population studied corresponded to a low prevalence.
The main antibodies found were against Rh, Kell and
Diego system antigens, with a different distribution than
published in other international series. No previous
report was found about the finding on group O as a
protective factor for isoimmunization.
