A 37-year-old woman received two units of packed red blood cells following a surgical procedure. She had been transfused once before. Five days after surgery, she experienced a slight fever and some hemoglobin in her urine, indicating a delayed transfusion reaction. A DAT test on a blood sample was positive.
