There was a significant association between pregnancy history with the development of antibodies whereas, no significant association was found between sociodemographic background, stage of CKD, hemodialysis status, underlying medical illness, and number of packed cell transfusions with the development of RBC antibodies. One-eighth of our patient cohort had RBC alloimmunization, and the risk was increased in patients with a history of pregnancy. We propose Rhesus RBC phenotyping and to supply blood match Rhesus antigen in CKD patients, especially patients of reproductive age.

We sought to assess the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) seroprotection among vaccinated children in the Assiut governorate, Egypt, and assess a booster dose immune memory response among non-seroprotected children. Using a multistage cluster sample, 566 children were recruited from three clusters one urban and two rural. Children were aged from nine months to 16 years old. All participants received the full three doses of the compulsory HBV vaccine during infancy. Serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), total anti-hepatitis B core (anti-HBc) antibodies, and quantitative detection of anti-HBs were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Repeatedly positive samples for HBsAg/anti-HBc were submitted for quantitative HBV DNA detection using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Non-seroprotective participants (anti-HBs < 10 IU/L) were given a booster dose of HBV vaccine. Two weeks later, a bl
