title: [Analysis of irregular antibodies in the department of transfusion medicine 1984-1988].
abstract: In the University Hospital of Hamburg we performed approximate 80,000 screening tests for irregular RBC antibodies in the years 1984-1988. Among 1,815 (2.27%) positive tests, Rhesus and concomitant antibodies occurred in 0.77% (615/80,000), other clinically important antibodies in 0.37% (293 cases). We found significantly less Rh antibodies than in the previous period of the mid seventies (Rh prophylaxis, completely Rh-compatible transfusions).
