Discrepancies in blood grouping are one of the major causes of transfusion reactions. Although ABO and RhD blood group discrepancies are not a very frequent phenomenon, an overall prevalence in the healthy populations was not known in the south-eastern part of West Bengal, India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>AIMS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To analyze the overall prevalence of ABO-Rh (D) blood group discrepancies in healthy blood donor populations, serological methods to resolve them and to supply blood in emergency circumstances to such persons.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, a total of 8000 voluntary blood donors were chosen by the simple random sampling from South-Eastern part of West Bengal and blood grouping was done by the conventional tube technique method. Discrepancies were found among 24 blood donors with overall incidence of 0.3%. Resolution of group discrepancies done by extended incubation, weak D testing, subgroup detection with specific antisera, adsorption elution technique, secretor status by inhibition technique, etc., Direct immunoglobulin test (DAT) was done on all the samples by the polyspecific gel card method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most of the discrepancies were due to weak or missing serum reactivity, (11 samples, incidence 0.13%), extra serum or red cell activity found in 6 samples (incidence 0.07%), subgroups causing weak red cell activity found in 4 samples (incidence 0.05%), and weak D antigen found in three samples (incidence 0.03%).
