Severe passenger lymphocyte syndrome associated to Rh antibodies after donor living renal transplantation
The passenger lymphocyte syndrome may cause hemolytic anemia after bone marrow and solid organ transplantation when there is minor erythrocyte antigen incompatibility in the donor/recipient pair. Anemia is usually self-limiting, frequently related to ABO antibodies and rarely to Rh mismatches. We report a rare case of passenger B lymphocyte syndrome mediated by Rh antibodies occurring after a donor living renal transplantation and discuss its clinical severity at presentation, the therapeutic decisions and their outcome.
