Description
Patients with warm autoantibodies present as a challenge to most transfusion services.

This program will look at blood bank serology testing and evalutation of patients with warm autoantibodies.
- Determine how warm autoantibodies are identified.
- Evaluate if it is safe to transfuse a patient with a warm autoantibody.
