Factors related to allergic transfusion reactions and febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions in children.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The para-Bombay phenotype (also known as H-deficient secretor) is characterized by a lack of ABH antigens on red cells, but ABH substances are found in saliva. Molecular genetic analysis was performed for five Chinese individuals serologically typed as para-Bombay. MATERIALS AND METHODS:ABO g...
