Noida: PGI Children help with the treatment of a two-year-old girl from Meerut, who, said the doctor, had rare blood composition.
The child anemia, had a stomach and dehydrated infection when he was taken to a private hospital in Meerut.
The baby requires blood transfusions because of the number of hemoglobin 7.6, the doctor said.
Because there was no match that could be found at Meerut Hospital, the sample and report was sent to the PGI of the child, which had been renamed the Postgraduate Institute for Child Health (Pich), with the government’s order on August 13.
The Department of Transfusion Medicine managed to provide compatible blood units for babies.
“On August 13 the night, the blood bank got a call from the Meerut Hospital and we were told that they could not ensure blood type or find compatible samples for patients.
We asked for a report and child sample, which we got the following afternoon,” said Dr.
Satyam said Arora, Assistant Professor, Research and Transfusion Medicine, PGI Children, Sector 30.
After they entered, the Department of Medical Transfusion on PGI Kids did a study and found that the girl had an antibody that occurred naturally against M blood.
“The child is B + with a clinically significant antibody on the M.
Blood Bank we are able to provide compatible blood units for him in a short period of time,” Dr Arora said.
He added that the transfusion process was carried out at Meerut Hospital and the child did “better”.
He said if M was charged blood to the girl, he could have a transfusion reaction.
In the past two years, Noida Hospital has helped with 20 blood transfusion processes and patients mostly from Gautam Budh Nagar, Aligarh, and Meerut, officials said.
Pich is the only Institute in handling Western cases.
