I was gonna say, walking around with someone else's blood sounds like it'd make for an entertaining crime drama episode.

CSI: LA did an episode about it in its earlier seasons. (As in, back when it was good.) This might be the one: http://www.csiguide.com/episodedetail.aspx?csi=157 http://www.csiguide.com/episodedetail.aspx?csi=157.

  Not CSI: LA but CSI, the one set in Las Vegas.

While not a "crime drama", Chimerism is also the main diagnosis in an episode of House: http://house.wikia.com/wiki/Cane_%26_Able http://house.wikia.com/wiki/Cane_%26_Able

There was an actual real-life crime episode involving that, look up Andrei Chikatilo, the police and a real trouble catching him because of mismatching blood types. I'd give you a wikipedia link, but apparently I can't use google cache.

  Actually, English wikipedia does not seem to mention that, and the Russian one says that not only Chikatilo did not have mismatched AB types of blood and sperm, but also that the condition has been proven to be genetically impossible (citing a broken link as a source for this statement, though).

Though not quite a crime drama, something like this has already happened. A woman trying to get a kidney transplant was informed that two of her sons couldn't be hers. Complications ensued. http://www.katewerk.com/chimera.html http://www.katewerk.com/chimera.html
