Detailed explanation-1: -“Irregular Antibodies” refers to all antibodies, other than those detecting ABO blood group antigens, that can cause incompatibility in blood transfusions and between mother & child.
Detailed explanation-2: -Atypical antibody screen is used in pregnancy to detect atypical red blood cell antibodies in the mother’s blood, which may be capable of causing hemolytic disease of the newborn.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rh antibodies are due to RBC immunization from pregnancy or transfusion, and usually persist for years. Anti-D can cause severe HTR and HDFN. Anti-D generally results from FMH occurring in D-negative women who carry D-positive fetus, or following transfusion of RhD-positive blood products to RhD-negative patients.
Detailed explanation-4: -A positive test means you have COVID-19 antibodies in your blood. A positive result shows past infection with the virus. It’s possible to have a positive test result even if you’ve never had any COVID-19 symptoms.
