Malaria Screening and Treatment in Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Donors and Sickle Cell Disease Candidates/Recipients: A Case Series Using Malaria Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing and a Literature Review

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Malaria polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is more sensitive than conventional diagnostics. Routine PCR screening of at‐risk asymptomatic hematopoietic cell donors and transplant candidates may prevent unnecessary deferrals or treatment. In our experience, PCR negativity during screening or after treatment supports donor/candidate eligibility ...

Characterisation of RHD and RHCE variations in blood donors from Jazan Province, Southwestern Saudi Arabia

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Rh is among the most important and highly polymorphic blood group systems due to the proximity of the RHD and RHCE genes, which encode numerous highly immunogenic antigens. However, in areas of Saudi Arabia with a high prevalence of hemoglobinopathy, the molecular characteristics of RHD and RHCE variations are lacking.

RhD‐negative red blood cell use and conservation strategies in the Region of Southern Denmark

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Suboptimal use of RhD‐negative red blood cells (RBCs) can lead to reduced inventories of this scarce resource. Prevention of D‐alloimmunization is particularly important for RhD‐negative females of childbearing potential (FCPs).

Exploring low haemoglobin density as a no‐added‐cost screening marker to assess iron deficiency

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Iron deficiency (ID), with or without anaemia, affects over 1 billion people globally. Early detection is essential, but current diagnostic tools may be costly, logistically complex and not widely accessible. This study evaluates low haemoglobin density percentage (LHD%), derived from mean corpuscular haemoglobin ...
