Four cases are reported in which the patients' sera agglutinated all erythrocytes tested, including their own, provided the cells first had been freshly washed with saline solution. The reactions of these sera are described and compared with other reports of panagglutination and autoagglutination specifically related to the use of common laboratory solutions (albumin, saline, citrate, or oxalate).
