Abstract
The occurrence of post-transfusion purpura (PTP) in a 16-year-old girl with sickle/beta-thalassaemia is described. Clinically this was a typical case of PTP, but it was unusual serologically. Anti-Baka and anti-PIA2 platelet-specific antibodies were identified and the patient's platelets were typed as homozygous PIA1-positive and Baka-negative. The patient also developed red-cell, granulocyte and lymphocytotoxic antibodies in response to the blood transfusion and had a delayed haemolytic transfusion reaction.Entities:
