Abstract
|
|
|
|
Anti-Oka was detected in a 56-year-old female patient who was admitted for surgical treatment of degenerative scoliosis. Because Oka is a high-incidence antigen, anti-Oka antibody is extremely rare. No case of hemolytic transfusion reaction or hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn caused by anti-Oka antibody has been reported so far, however, it is likely that anti-Oka is clinically significant based on several in vivo and in vitro studies. When a patient who is bearing anti-Oka needs transfusion of RBCs, transfusion of autologous blood or Ok(a-) RBCs from family members is recommended.
