A patient transfused with two units of packed cells spiked a fever of 99.5oF and complained of chills five
days after transfusion. The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) was positive with anti-IgG, but negative with

transfusion specimen was incompatible with one of the donor units transfused. An antibody screen was

transfusion specimen only and identified by panel studies as anti-Jka. This transfusion reaction is most:
