Most probable ABO type: Group A
Possible causes: Immunocompromised, age-related, transplantation, dilution, technical/procedural error
Some strategies for resolution: Repeat testing with careful attention to accuracy or repeat reverse grouping with extended incubation at or below room temperature. Weak ABO reactions can often be potentiated using extended incubation at or below room temperature.
