Prevalence of Alloantibodies in Transfusion-dependent Thalassemia Patients
The prevalence (95% confidence interval) of alloantibodies in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients in the present study was noted to be 4.3% (1.7%-10.6%). Patients with an Rh (D)-negative phenotype had a significantly higher prevalence of alloimmunization as compared to patients with an Rh (D)-positive phenotype.
