Abstract: Passenger lymphocyte syndrome is an important though rare cause of immune hemolysis, an adverse effect affecting solid organ transplantation. Passenger lymphocytes in grafted kidney have been reported to result in autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) in minor ABO incompatible transplants. This case report describes one such case of a 26-year-old male renal allograft recipient of an ABO compatible renal transplant with his wife as a donor. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
