Abstract
We present a rare case of an A2B +ve blood group with obstetric hemorrhage in mild hypovolemic shock with DIC. An emergency request for blood transfusion confounded the blood bank officer as the patient’s blood was seemingly incompatible with all ABO blood groups. Further investigation revealed the patient’s blood group to be a rare subtype of the A group known as A2+veB. This article highlights the need to be aware of such rare subgroups, especially in tertiary referral centers, where unbooked Obstetric emergencies are encountered on a regular basis, so lifesaving measures can be appropriately taken.
