[Anti-M antibodies in the pathogenesis of hemolytic disease of the newborn].
Two cases are presented of serological fetomaternal incompatibility in the MNSs group system diagnosed for the first time in Poland. Anti-M antibodies of the mother caused in one newborn haemolytic disease with acute anaemia requiring blood transfusions. In the other newborn clinical signs of the disease failed to appear despite a positive direct antiglobulin test. The results are presented of immunohematological studies calling attention to difficulties connected the diagnosis of haemolytic disease of the newborn caused by anti-M antibodies. This problem is discussed more extensively in the light of available literature.
