Modification of blood group in the course of malignant haemopathy in an aged patients is described. To our knowledge, this is the first published case describing the appearance of autoantibody due to anti-D in a patient with Rh typing DCcee who has myelodysplastic syndrome in transition to acute leukaemia. We present a patient who developed acquired autoantibody to Rh locus as co-phenomenon of myelodysplastic syndrome in transition to acute leukaemia.
