The hospital staff concerned injected him with one bag of B-positive blood, according Sumon Bishwas, a cousin of the patient.
As the condition of the patient deteriorated further, the relatives shifted him to Dhaka.
Several tests done on the patient at different private hospitals and diagnostic centres in Dhaka detected some discrepancies in his blood.
On April 26, doctors at Square Hospital confirmed that Aban's blood group was A-positive.
The patient was later admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital under the supervision of its medicine department Chairman Dr Benzir Ahmed.
Kushtia hospital's blood bank staff Iqbal Hossain told the Dhaka Tribune that B-positive blood was given for Aban from the blood bank on requisition from the ward concerned.
