Transient loss of A1 phenotype in a patient with passenger lymphocyte syndrome after ABO minor incompatible liver transplantation: The first case report

Abstract

Passenger lymphocyte syndrome (PLS) is a well-known cause of antibody mediated hemolysis after minor ABO mismatched transplantations. In most cases, PLS is mild and self-limited and easily recovered through transfusion. We report an unusual case of transient loss of A1 phenotype in AB blood type patient with PLS after ABO minor incompatible liver transplantation from B blood type deceased donor.
