ABSTRACT
Background: The Bombay phenotype
is an uncommon blood group identified using forward and reverses plasma
categorizing. Individuals with the Bombay phenotype lack the antigens A, B, and
H on their blood cells, but their serum has high levels of anti-A, anti-B, and
anti-H antibodies. The Bombay phenotype needed donation of the same blood as
the Bombay phenotype or homologous blood. As a result, it is critical to do
blood grouping appropriately.
Objective: The objective of this
is to determine the prevalence of Bombay phenotype among the O blood group
donors and patients in Peshawar Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Material and methods: This
research was done at Khyber Medical University Peshawar's Institute of
Paramedical Science. This trial lasted six months. The samples came from Peshawar's
transfusion centres and hospitals. A total of 1050 O blood donors and patients
were tested. The tube technique was used to categorise forward and backward
blood. Forward blood grouping used anti-sera A, B, and D, whereas reverse blood
grouping used known as red blood cells from A, B, and O blood types.
Results: No cases of Bombay
phenotype were detected in the entire study.
Conclusion: According to the
findings of this research, the Bombay phenotype is not prevalent in Peshawar.
Keywords: Bombay blood group, O
blood group donors and patients, forward and Reverse blood grouping.
