Background: The H antigen is the precursor substance for A and B antigens formation on red blood cells of an individual and absence of it is termed as H deficient phenotype. If H antigen is absent on both RBCs and secretions, and then the resulting blood group is a Classical Bombay phenotype with anti-H antibodies in their serum. If H antigen are absent on RBCs and present in secretions and plasma, the resulting blood group is Para-Bombay phenotype. Genetically Para-Bombay’s lack an active H gene (genotype is hh) but carry at least one Se gene (Secretor gene). Para-Bombay or red blood cell (RBC) H negative secretor individuals may or may not have anti-H in their serum. In both cases routine blood grouping is O. Case Report: Blood sample of 24-year-old female is submitting in blood bank, resulting her routine grouping O RhD positive. Complete blood grouping by Gel technology revels her forward grouping is Oh and reverse grouping B. Patient is secretor for B and H antigens. Absorption and elusion test is negative. Family grouping was also done to find out compatible blood and her family genesis. Conclusion: Patient blood group is Para-Bombay B. Complete blood grouping (Forward and reverse) as well as saliva grouping and absorption /elusion test is advisable when there is a discrepancy in ABH grouping.

Background: ABO blood types are scientifically proved to be associated with the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but data is lacking in the Saudi population. Aims: We aimed to investigate the association between ABO blood types and VTE, to explore potential interactions between ABO blood type with sex and obesity status. Methods: This was a retrospective study with a total of 998 patients, who were admitted with venous thromboembolism at our tertiary care hospital, between January 2010 and January 2018. Demographic and clinical data were collected. We used chi-square tests to assess the association between ABO blood group and the development of VTE. It was decided that the test will be considered significant if the p-value is <0.05. Results: Out of 998 VTE patients, 506 of patients were excluded, because their ABO blood group was not tested. Therefore, 492 patients were qualified as study subjects, of whom 66% of patients had DVT, 23% of patients had pulmonary embolism. Most of them had provoked VTE. Female patients constituted the majority of the study subjects (82.5%). Sample distribution appeared that O blood group was present in 34.1% of all VTE patients, while non-O-blood groups were present in 66% of them. Overall, there was a non-significant difference between VTE in patients with non-O blood type compared to O blood type (p=0.268). Conclusions: Non-O-blood groups (A, B, AB) are the most common blood types in Saudi patients with VTE. There is no statistically significant association between ABO blood groups, gender, and obesity status. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Background: There is a tendency to order more units of blood than what are actually needed. As blood being finite and recognition of a high rate of inappropriate use, there is a need to monitor and regulate it. It can be done by the analysis of blood requisitions. This study was done to analyze the pattern of blood requisition and utilization in a tertiary care hospital considering the lack of such studies conducted.Methods: A chart review was conducted during April to May, 2020 to analyse 5601 blood requisitions made during April 2019 to March 2020 in the Department of Transfusion Medicine, RIMS Imphal. Data abstraction form was used to abstract data and it was analyzed in IBM Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21.Results: Out of total 5601 blood requisitions, 52.8% were made for female. Nearly one-fifth (18.4%) of the requisitions were for 50-59 years. Of the blood group, A+ (33.4%) was the commonest. Nearly one-third (32.4%) of blood units requested were from the Medicine Department. Anemia (71.6%) was the most common indication. Out of total 5601 requisitions, 4727 (84.4%) were made for packed RBC, 258 (4.6%) for FFP, 232 (4.1%) for platelets and 44 (0.8%) for whole blood. Majority (14.1%) of requisitions were made during the month of July. Replacement was the commonest mode of issue of blood.Conclusions: Predominant blood requisitions were made for A+ blood group. PRBC constitute majority of the blood requisition. Majority of the requisitions were made from medicine department.
