    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Immunology
    • Blood Banking

    Background:

    • Polyagglutination refers to the agglutination of red blood cells by most human sera.
    • Tn-activation is a rare red blood cell phenotype associated with acquired B antigen and specific antibody production.

    Observation:

    • A healthy blood donor presented with erythrocytic polyagglutination.
    • Clinical and serologic tests confirmed the diagnosis of Tn-red cells polyagglutination.

    Findings:

    • This case represents the sixth documented instance of Tn-activation in a healthy blood donor.
    • The study details the specific serologic findings characteristic of Tn-polyagglutination.

    Implications:

    • Understanding Tn-activation is crucial for accurate blood transfusion compatibility.
  • The clinical and forensic significance of this rare blood group warrants further discussion and awareness.
