Therefore, it is important to detect them. Case Following O blood type transfusion to a blood group O Rh positive patient with multiple trauma, acute hemolytic transfusion reaction happened. The reaction was recognized by the trained nurse in the haemovigilance system. In serologic studies, a high level of anti-H, anti-A, and anti-B was detected in the patient blood.
