- Abstract
The widespread use of Rh‑D immune globulin has led to a relative increase in the importance of non‑Rh‑D isoimmunization as a cause of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDN). Disease spectrum for non‑anti‑D erythrocyte alloimmunization may range from subclinical hemolysis to active hemolysis and hyperbilirubinemia requiring exchange transfusion. We report such a case of HDN due to Rh anti‑c in an infant of an Rh‑positive mother, who required double volume exchange transfusion.
