The antibody prevalence of the South Indian population was studied as the data were scarce. Rh\u2013Kell matching is traditionally followed, but other alloantibodies may have higher prevalence because of geographical variation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It is a retrospective study on alloantibody prevalence in a tertiary care hospital in southern India from April 2021 to March 2023.

One hundred and thirty-three patients have 155 alloantibodies, among which anti-D is the most common (1.02%), followed by anti-C (0.21%) and S (0.19%), with none having anti-Kell alloantibodies. Here, 1.58% of alloantibodies are formed against Rh and Kell blood group system, whereas 1.94% are against Rh MNS and system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anti-M and anti-S are common alloantibodies prevalent in the southern India population besides Rh.
