Reliability of bedside ABO testing before transfusion.

abstract：:Two blood samples containing autoagglutinins reactive in room temperature tests using low-ionic strength salt (LISS) reagents, but not by conventional saline-albumin or enzyme tests, are reported. The anti-P specificity of both sera, when tested near or diluted in group AB serum, was evident by their failure to agglut...
