Pure anti-Doa stimulated by pregnancy.
Pure anti-Doa stimulated by pregnancy was detected in 2 non-transfused females during routine antenatal screening. Anti-Doa occurs rarely and has generally been reported in combination with other antibodies. The first, and only report to date, of pure anti-Doa was also stimulated by pregnancy. We believe these instances to be only the second and third reported cases of pure anti-Doa.
