A 39‐year‐old multiparous woman developed a mixed field positive direct antiglobulin test within 15 days of receiving four units of crossmatch compatible red blood cells. Anti‐Jsb was demonstrable in both the serum and the eluate. The case was further complicated by the fact that the patient's pretransfusion red blood cells typed as Js(b+). Serologic studies demonstrated that this was a case of allo‐anti‐Jsb in a Js(b+) patient which provides evidence of heterogeniety of the Js locus.
