POk let me explain. (Copied from my another reply):
Basically, this scenario happens in two rare conditions which we are aware of.1. A rare ‘weak D’ blood group which gives negative first, but positive in confirmatory test (But ours shown delayed reaction in both).
2. A condition called ‘mixed field reaction’ where the patient has both blood types in their body because of a ‘mixing’ that moght have occurred due to a previous transfusion, abortion, delivery, etc. (This requires the requesting clinician to note the appropriate history in the form).The testing is standard agglutination tests based on antigen-antibody reactions. But in such rare <1% cases, the tests may be insufficient and require other big tests. Rarely, the patients use the opportunity to sue and we have to get legal help.
PHi. Thank you for your interest. Let me add the details I omitted to make the post simple.

A second test was done after 7 days in a seperate sample. Thanks in advance.
PThe reports are signed by me. The hospital asked me to solve it. And the patient demanded me to write down what I think is the report.
I wrote a “based on the lab results” and “to the best of my knowledge” lines in it.
