A case of hemolytic disease of the newborn infant due to anti-K (Cellano).
Hemolytic disease of the newborn infant (HDN) due to anti-K (Cellano) is very uncommon in Caucasians. We report here a case of anti-K HDN. The anti-K alloimmunization appeared in the mother during her fifth pregnancy. This HDN needed an exchange transfusion immediately after delivery. The clinical outcome of the newborn infant was good.
