We hereby report a rare case of HDFN because of antibody to Kidd (Jk) blood group system—anti Jka. An EDTA sample of a baby along with mother’s sample was received in the Department for Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) alongwith blood requisition for ...

2025年1月22日 · Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), also known as erythroblastosis fetalis, is a complex and potentially life-threatening condition arising from maternal-fetal blood group incompatibility.

Although HDFN due to Jk antibodies is rare, however, the clinician must be aware of the occurrence of these antibodies as they can lead to severe HDFN and persistent anemia in the infant. Keywords: Exchange transfusion; Hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn; Kidd antibody; Total serum bilirubin.

The Kidd blood group is clinically significant as Kidd antibodies have the potential to trigger both acute and delayed transfusion reactions, along with hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). Here, we have reported a case of HDFN due to Jk-b antibodies.

2024年3月3日 · In the Journal of Neurology, researchers presented the unique case of a neonate born with hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) due to Jka antibody. A 38-week female infant born uneventfully presented with jaundice on her 14th day of life.

2023年10月17日 · Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) can occur when a pregnant woman has antibody directed against an erythrocyte surface antigen expressed by her fetus.

Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) used to be a major cause of fetal loss and death among newborn babies. The first description of HDN is thought to be in 1609 by a French midwife who delivered twins—one baby was swollen and died soon after birth, the other baby developed jaundice and died several days later.

Criteria used for monitoring RhD alloimmunization were effective in detecting severe HDFN resulting from to anti-Jka. Our case series identified severe disease in 1 of 20 pregnancies from anti-Jka using maternal antibody titer and MCA PSV.

2013年1月16日 · Whereas Jk (b)-related haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is relatively common, HDN due to anti-Jk (a) is very rare, with the total number of cases with complete laboratory findings being just three. 1 Moreover, case reports that occurred in Asia are even rarer due to the low Jk (a) allelic frequency. 2.

Here we report a rare case of HDFN due to dual antibodies to Rh and Kidd blood group system antigens: anti-E and anti-Jka. This case report highlights the importance of routine and regular antenatal screening of all pregnant women for proper monitoring and follow-up.
