Discrepancies in the grouping of ABO blood group system

La Medicina Transfusional ha logrado tan importantes avances en las últimas décadas, y se la ha reconocido como una especialidad multidisciplinaria, dirigida a la obtención y selección de los componentes de la sangre. Ha representado un avance de múltiples enfermedades, que en otros tiempos eran fatales para la vida humana. La posibilidad de esta acción terapéutica ha adquirido cada vez más seguridad, pese a los riesgos que siempre acarrea. La transfusión de componentes de la sangre establece como condición básica e imprescindible la compatibilidad ABO y RH entre donante y receptor . Se presentan tres casos de pacientes en edades escolares con procesos malignos en recidiva, politransfundidos con la pertenencia a un grupo sanguíneo y muestran un debilitamiento de los antígenos y anticuerpos, dando como resultado otro grupo sanguíneo, que al hacer remisión de su enfermedad vuelven a su grupo sanguíneo, hecho que no ocurre con frecuencia pero está descrito en la literatura.

Transfusional Medicine has achieved important advances in recent decades, and it has been recognized as a multidisciplinary field; which is aimed at obtaining and selecting blood components. It has represented a progress for the detection of multiple diseases that were fatal to human life in other precedent times. The possibility of this therapeutic action has become increasingly safe, despite the presupposed risks. The transfusion of blood components establishes as basic and indispensable condition ABO and Rh compatibility between donor and recipient. Three cases of school-aged patients are presented with relapsed malignancies, poly-transfused patients belonging to a determined blood group show a declining of antigens and antibodies resulting in another blood group, and during the remission of the disease they go back to their own blood group, this is fact that not often occurs, but it is described by the medical literature.
