Hi, I received a letter from Health Sciences Authority in Singapore (Year 2011) when they tested my blood and it shows me the following : Immunohaematology Antibody Identification ANTIBODY ID : ANTI-Mia ANTI-Mia is an alloantibody commonly found in Asians. It has on rare occassions been implicated in haemolytic transfusion reactions and haemolytic disease of newborn. Transfusion recommendation : AHG-crossmatch compatible red cells. I don't understand the report neither did my doctors explained this to me when I was hospitalized due to dengue fever. Questions: 1)Does ANTI-Mia means any problem with my blood? 2) what does the transfusion recommendation refers to? AHG means? 3) what is haemolytic transfusion reactions? like if tranfusion i might 4) have reactions to certain blood even though it may be compatible like O+ blood receive O+ blood but may reject? 5) what is haemolytic diesease of newborn? does it mean that there are some complications if i was to intend to have babies?
