Abstract

The development of alloantibodies may complicate the management of patients with β-thalassemia. An extended antigenic matching may reduce the risk of alloimmunization. Our previous study showed that the introduction of molecular red blood cell (RBC) typing allows finding suitable blood units for multi-transfused patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of RBC transfusion with extended antigenic match.
