What are the personality traits of people with Bombay Blood?

One in 250,000 people worldwide carries the Bombay blood group. Given that this condition is very rare, any person with this blood group who needs an urgent blood transfusion will probably be unable to get it, as no blood bank would have any in stock. However: In a Chennai, India hospital, 10 people with the rare Bombay blood group were kept on file for emergency cases.

While blood groups like A, B, AB and O are popular, the hh is rare. “In A group, the person has A antigen and B antibody. While those with AB have both the antigens and no antibodies, people with O group have only antibodies. In all these groups, there is another antigen called H. Those with Bombay group have all the three antibodies and none of the three antigens,” said Dr P Jayanthi, blood officer at the hospital.

But what do you do when in addition to having the rare hh blood group (Oh, meaning type O without the H antigen), but in addition you are also rh negative?

This is a recent situation where a pregnant woman with this rare Oh- blood type was admitted to the hospital.

Aditya Hegde, who has the same blood group, came to Chennai from Bengaluru to donate blood.

Senior gynaecologists, who did the surgery, ordered for one unit of blood. Just when Hegde was boarding the train back to Bengaluru, Mythili was latching her newborn. “Hegde was god-sent. I don’t know what we would have done if he had not come here,” said her uncle Ramu.
For her part, Mythili has enrolled herself as a blood donor for Bombay -ve blood group in the hospital.
