By kamran: A 38-year-old woman in Bengaluru has been found to have a blood group that is considered extremely rare in the world. This blood group has been named 'CRIB' , in which 'C' stands for Cromer - one of the 47 known blood groups, 'I' stands for India , and 'B' stands for Bengaluru .
During the woman's heart surgery , doctors might have needed a blood transfusion, but they were unable to identify her blood type. Because of this inability, they were unable to prepare a stock of blood as per normal procedure.
After researching on this blood group for 11 months, it was discovered that this is a unique group which was never seen before in India.
Dr. Ankit Mathur, who was the chief surgeon of this surgery, said with relief that,
“We had no idea that we were facing a case that would go down in history. The surgery was successful and we did not need a blood transfusion. It was a wonderful combination of science and luck.”This case has become a unique example in medical science and can further deepen research towards blood testing and identification in the coming years.
