Red cell alloimmunisation in regularly transfused beta thalassemia patients in Pakistan

In Pakistan routine blood group typing of thalassemia patients identifies ABO and Rh(D) antigens only. Therefore, other antigen incompatibilities between blood donor and blood recipient may cause alloimmunisation.
