There are many causes of a positive direct antiglobulin test. Depending on the technique and the reagents used, a positive direct antiglobulin test has been reported in 1:1000 to 1:14,000 blood donors and 1%-15% of hospital patients. Most blood donors with positive direct antiglobulin test results appear healthy, and most show no overt signs of hemolytic anemia.
Overview. The inguinal region of the body, also known as the groin, is located on the lower portion of the anterior abdominal wall, with the thigh inferiorly, the pubic tubercle medially, and the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) superolaterally.ymph nodes in the inguinal region receive drainage from the penis, scrotum, and vulva. Patients with cancer or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) may acquire lymphadenopathy in this region. Penile cancer. Penile cancer is a rare but serious disease found in certain parts of Africa and South America.
Inguinal Hernia. This is the most common hernia (about 70% of all hernias are inguinal hernias). They occur in the groin, the small area of the lower abdomen on each side just above the line separating the abdomen and the legs, and around the pubic bone. Why do they occur? They occur through the inguinal canal, a conduit where the testicle comes through on its way to the scrotum during the development of males. Men and women develop from the same basic pattern so there are anatomical similarities between men and women, meaning that women also have the inguinal canal.
