Abstract

Among RhD variants, it is considered safe to transfuse RhD positive blood to “Asia-type” DEL and weak D type 1, 2, and 3 recipients. However, transfusing RhD-positive blood cells in the “Asia-type” DEL, (serologically typed as RhD-negative), is still a cause for concern among clinicians. Here, the safety of transfusing RhD-positive blood components to “Asia-type” DEL recipients is re-emphasized by reviewing previously published literature.
