A case is reported in which a transfusion of whole blood of group Le (a+b-)
produced a severe hemolytic transfusion reaction in a patient of group Le
(a-b-). The anti-Lea in the patient's serum had apparently been stimulated
by previous transfusions. No other antibody was demonstrable by us in this
case.
