Isoimmunization to Cromer antigen in pregnancy.
Pregnancy in a woman isoimmunized to Cromer antigen, a high-frequency antigen, is reported. Neither of her two Cromer antigen-positive infants was affected with hemolytic disease of the newborn. Autologous blood or that from a compatible Cromer antigen-negative relative may be frozen and stored for possible transfusion in a pregnant woman with anti-Cromer antigen antibodies.
