The Rh-D negative pregnancy is commonly associated with alloimmunization against D-antigen. It can be prevented by anti-D prophylaxis in pregnant patients with negative results on antibody screening. Hence, it is essential to exclude alloantibody-D in the presence of multiple alloantibodies. Anti-G antibody is formed after exposure to G antigen in neonate RBCs. Blood-group discrepancy was noted in reverse grouping, and antibody-screening results were positive in our case individual, a 28-year old Odiya Indian woman. We performed antibody identification on serum specimens from this patient, which revealed the pattern of anti-D + anti-C antibody specificity. Blood-group discrepancy was solved using rr (ce/ce)-phenotype pooled cells for reverse grouping. We identified anti-G antibodies by themselves without anti-D and anti-C after performing sequential adsorption of serum with r'r' (Ce/Ce) and R2R2 (DcE/DcE) group-O RBCs in the mother, who had rr phenotype and primigravida designation. After completing antibody screening at the first antenatal check-up, we recommended prophylactic anti-D for the mother in any future pregnancies she may have.
