    A case study details a 75-year-old woman experiencing recurrent posttransfusion thrombocytopenia due to a potent anti-PlA1 antibody. The platelet-indirect radioactive Coombs test proved highly sensitive in diagnosing this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Posttransfusion thrombocytopenia can occur due to immune responses against platelet antigens.
    • Platelet antigen PlA1 (HPA-3a) is a common target in immune thrombocytopenic reactions.

    Observation:

    • A 75-year-old PlA1-negative woman presented with subclinical thrombocytopenia after surgery and transfusion.
    • This was the second such episode in the patient, with a history of one pregnancy.

    Findings:

    • A potent anti-PlA1 antibody (titer 1/128) was identified using the platelet-indirect radioactive Coombs test.
    • This test demonstrated higher sensitivity compared to other platelet immunological assays.

    Implications:

    • The findings highlight the diagnostic utility of the platelet-indirect radioactive Coombs test for immune thrombocytopenia.
