title: Immune hydrops fetalis attributable to anti-HJK.
abstract: We describe a new low-frequency antigen as the cause of immune hydrops fetalis in a fetus presenting at 27 weeks with a hematocrit of 6%. The fetus was treated successfully by intravascular transfusion. This antigen, temporarily identified as HJK, has been detected in only one family.
