- Prevalence and laboratorial determinants of the clinical relevance of antibodies of undetermined specificity(2019) CONRADO, Marina Cavalcanti de Albuquerque da Veiga; CARDOSO, Regina A.; DEZAN, Marcia Regina; OLIVEIRA, Valeria Brito; NETO, Abel da Costa; ZIZA, Karen Chinoca; KRIEGER, Jose Eduardo; PEREIRA, Alexandre Costa; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; ROCHA, Vanderson; MENDRONE-JUNIOR, Alfredo; DINARDO, Carla LuanaBackground and Objectives Antibodies of unknown specificity (AUS) are frequently identified in the pre-transfusion testing. These antibodies can be insignificant or potentially cause post-transfusion haemolysis. Information about the prevalence of clinically relevant AUS is still lacking. Our aim was to predict the potential clinical relevance of AUS using the monocyte monolayer assay (MMA) and to identify the clinical and laboratorial determinants of AUS' significance. Materials and Methods Antibodies of unknown specificity identified at a single institution from 2015-2017 were evaluated through MMA. A monocyte index (MI) of more than 5% was predictive of potential post-transfusion haemolysis. Results Thirty-two patients with AUS were included in the study. Of the studied AUS, 37 center dot 5% (12/32) presented with a monocyte index (MI) more than 5%. In the group of significant AUS, 41 center dot 7% of the patients presented with sickle cell disease (SCD) and the AUS were associated with Rh antibodies in 75% of the cases. In the group of insignificant AUS, only 10% of the patients had SCD and the association with Rh antibodies was detected in 20% of the cases. The presence of Rh antibodies was independently associated with the AUS clinical relevance (P = 0 center dot 012). Conclusion More than one-third of the AUS are potentially clinically relevant, and the association with Rh antibodies is predictive of AUS relevance. Services must honour AUS in the pre-transfusion process in order to ensure transfusion safety.

- Detection and analysis of blood donors seropositive for syphilis(2021) ATTIE, Adriana; ALMEIDA-NETO, Cesar de; WITKIN, Steven S.; DERRIGA, Juliana; NISHIYA, Anna S.; FERREIRA, Jerenice E.; COSTA, Natalia de Souza Xavier; SALLES, Nanci Alves; FACINCANI, Tila; LEVI, Jose E.; SABINO, Ester C.; ROCHA, Vanderson; MENDRONE-JR, Alfredo; FERREIRA, Suzete C.Background The increasing incidence of syphilis worldwide has called attention to the risk of transmission by transfusion. Aims To determine the prevalence of active syphilis in blood donors and characterise the serological profile of syphilis-positive donors. Methods Samples positive for Treponema pallidum using the chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) during blood donor screening from 2017 to 2018 were tested by the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) non-treponemal test and for anti-T. pallidum IgM by ELISA (Immunoassay Enzyme test for detection of IgM antibodies). The INNO-LIA Syphilis test (Line Immuno Assay solid test for confirmation antibodies to Treponema pallidum) was performed as a confirmatory test on samples that were positive on ELISA-IgM but negative on VDRL. ELISA-IgM (+) samples were also tested for T. pallidum DNA in sera by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results Of 248 542 samples screened, 1679 (0.67%) were positive for syphilis by CMIA. Further analysis was performed on 1144 (68.1%) of these samples. Of those tested, 16% were ELISA IgM(+)/VDRL(+), 16.5% were ELISA IgM(-)/VDRL(+), 4.1% were ELISA IgM(+)/VDRL(-), and 63.4% were ELISA IgM (-)/VDRL(-). The INNO-LIA Syphilis test results were 33 (3%) positive, 2 (0.2%) undetermined and 12 (1%) negative. Of the 230 EIA-IgM(+) samples (20.1%), 5 (2.2%) were PCR positive. The prevalence of active syphilis in 2017 and 2018 was 0.1% and 0.07%, respectively, and overall prevalence of serologic markers for syphilis was highest among male, unmarried, 25-34-year-olds with a high school education and who were first-time donors. Conclusion There is a risk of transfusion-transmitted syphilis in blood banks that exclusively use the VDRL test for donor screening, as is currently the situation in some Brazilian blood centres, as well as in other blood centres around the world.
- Variant genotypes associated with reduced expression of RhCE antigens among Brazilian blood donors(2021) DEZAN, Marcia Regina; OLIVEIRA, Valeria B.; CONRADO, Marina C. A. V.; ROCHA, Mateus Cardoso da; LUZ, Fabio; GALLUCCI, Antonio; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.; KRIEGER, Jose E.; ROCHA, Vanderson; MENDRONE-JUNIOR, Alfredo; DINARDO, Carla LuanaBackground The genetic diversity of the RHCE gene locus has been explored in diverse populations of different racial backgrounds. Data referring to the diversity of RHCE encoding weakened expression of C, c, E, and e in multiethnic populations is still incomplete. Methods Samples from Brazilian blood donors presenting reduced expression of C, c, E, or e on gel method were selected for the study. All exons and flanking introns of RHCE were genotyped though direct Sanger sequencing for the included donors. Results Sixty-six donors were included: 23 with weak C, 22 with weak c, 6 with weak E, 14 with weak e, and 1 with weak c and E. Among the samples with weak C, the following altered RH*C were encountered: RHCE*CeMA (n = 3), RHCE*Ce941C (n = 1), and RHCE*CeVA (n = 1). RHD*D-CE(4-7)-D was detected in six cases, RHCE*CE was presumably present in five cases, and seven cases were unexplained. Two altered alleles underlay the weak c phenotype: RHCE*ceJAL (n = 20) and RHCE*ce340T (n = 2), and two altered RHCE justified weak e: RHCE*ceMO (n = 6) and RHCE*ceJAL (n = 8). Three variant RHCE were associated with weak E: RHCE*cEJU (n = 4), RHCE*cE382C (n = 1), and RHCE*cEIV (n = 1). The RHCE*cE905A justified one case of weak c and E. Conclusion We describe the distribution of RHCE variants found in association with weak expression of C, c, E, and e in blood donors of multiethnic origin, which differs in comparison to that previously reported for people of African or Caucasian descent.
