    Abstract

    Cold antibodies were found in 95 out of 112 cases active at 10°C. but in 86 of these the whole blood compatability test described in this paper was negative or very weakly positive. It is safe to transfuse blood incompatible with a cold antibody if the whole blood test is weak or negative.
