A 10-year-old boy is in critical condition at JK Lone Hospital in Jaipur after allegedly receiving AB+ blood instead of his correct O+ type during transfusions on December 5 and 7. He is currently on a ventilator. The hospital has formed a committee to investigate the incident. Officials stated that the child's condition was already serious upon admission for chronic kidney disease. Tests showed no immediate reaction to the incorrect blood type. ABO incompatibility can cause severe immune reactions, though they are rare. Symptoms may include fever, breathlessness, and back pain. Medical staff monitor patients closely during transfusions to detect any adverse effects.
