Table 2.

Results (agglutination and/or haemolysis) of minor cross-match tests at the three temperatures of incubation

Type of result	4°C	RT	37°C
Negative for haemolysis and agglutination	1/101	0/101	2/107
Haemolysis positive and agglutination negative	1/95*	1/90*	0/96*
Haemolysis negative and agglutination positive	75/101 (4)	74/101 (1)	66/107 (2)
Positive for haemolysis and agglutination	18/101 (0)	15/101 (0)	28/107 (0)
Total	101 (4)	101 (1)	107 (2)

The number of agglutinations detected microscopically only is indicated in brackets

^*This denominator is less than the total number reported in the column because in some cases all red blood cells were destroyed by haemolysis, and it was not possible to evaluate agglutination

RT = room temperature
