title: First case of haemolytic disease of the newborn due to anti-Mur in Hong Kong.
abstract: The fifth child of a Hong Kong Chinese mother developed moderate jaundice, attributable to antibodies (anti-Mi) against antigenic determinants in GP.Mur (Miltenberger, class III) red cells. Both the father and the eldest sister were of the phenotype GP.Mur. Testing of maternal serum against a red cell panel including cells known to carry the antigenic determinants of some Miltenberger phenotypes revealed the presence of anti-Mur. This report documents the first case of haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) due to anti-Mur in Hong Kong.
