- Abstract
A case of anti-Jsb in pregnancy was associated with unexpectedly severe haemolytic disease of the newborn, requiring urgent exchange transfusion. Clinical signs of fetal distress were evident at 35 weeks of gestation in a sixth pregnancy. A Jsb+ baby from a previous pregnancy had been unaffected. This case report illustrates the difficulties of predicting severity on the basis of anti-Jsb titre, and highlights issues relating to the problems of using reconstituted frozen red cells from the rare red cell bank for exchange transfusion.
