[Evaluation of the erythrocyte antibody registry in East Germany (1978-1980)].
On the basis of statistics on erythrocyte antibodies annually transmitted to the Ministry of Health by the institutions of blood transfusion service in the GDR, an analysis on frequency, population and distribution of specificity to be found in erythrocyte antibodies was established for the first time from 1978 to 1980. For the time covered by the investigation, the GDR percentage of the total detection rate for antibodies amounted to 0.39%, with a fluctuating range of 0.14% to 0.7% being present in the various districts. Even the percentages of immunoantibodies and natural antibodies greatly differed within the country. Anti-D could be identified as the most frequent antibody. Moreover, the specificities anti-E, anti-P1, anti-Lea, anti-D + C and anti-Lea + Leb were significant in their number. The variety of antibodies detected justifies the necessity of consequently applying antibody screenings in the pretransfusional serology of hospitals. The percentage of antibodies predominantly identified by the indirect antihuman globulin test has to be enhanced by the continual application of this method.
