    Abstract:
    A patient with ABO blood group incompatibility who was treated by exchange transfusion is reported. A 63-year-old woman with blood group B type Rh (+) was accidentally transfused approximately 120 ml of A type Rh (+) packed red cells. She developed shock state, complaining chilliness, trepidation, nausea and vomiting just after the atypical blood transfusion. Fortunately, we could save her life without any complication by doing exchange transfusion in addition to anti-shock therapy and anticoagulant therapy preventing disseminated intravascular coagulation. The exchange transfusion was performed while monitoring central venous pressure. The total withdrawn blood reached 4300 ml, and 18 units of B type Rh (+) packed red cells, 10 units of AB type Rh (+) fresh frozen plasmas, 1250 ml of plasma protein fractions and 1750 ml of plasma expanders were infused with crystalloid fluid therapy. Although the amount of atypical blood transfusion to her was relatively small, it is considered that the exchange blood transfusion which seems to be only the fundamental therapy against atypical blood transfusion, took effect in saving her life without any complication.
