  Background: Thalassemia major is a lifelong transfusion dependent disease. Continuous blood transfusion can causes alloimmunization against RBC antigens and complicate further treatment in these patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of RBC allo and auto antibodies, the types of these antibodies and the factors that affect alloimmunization in patients with thalassemia. Material and methods: This descriptive study was performed on 221 males and 164 females with thalassemia major referred to Ali Asghar hospital in Zahedan, Iran. Initially information sheet about age, gender, race, age on first blood transfusion, history of splenectomy and ABO & Rh blood group were filled out. For alloantibody screening, patients serum were tested in three phases (Salin, 37°C with LISS and Anti Human Globulin ) by pooled cell.. View More»
