ABO Haemolytic Anaemia in Transplanted Patients

Abstract. A case of severe intravascular haemolysis, due to an ‘auto‐anti‐B antibody’, and a case of transient haemolytic anaemia, due to an ‘auto‐anti‐A antibody’, following allogeneic organ transplantation, are reported. Both patients were receiving immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporin A and were non‐secretors of A, B and H substances.
