Immunohematological Challenges In COVID Infected Patients

Several autoimmune disorders have been reported to be related with COVID infection. In continuation to these autoimmune phenomenon, autoimmune hemolytic anaemia (AIHA) also has been noted in COVID infected patients. The aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of red cell alloimmunization, ABO discrepancy and positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) results in COVID infected patients hospitalised in a tertiary care centre in North India.
