Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

A new Rh phenotype, Rhorh, G‐negative is described in a Negro woman who developed anti‐G (rhG) antibodies during pregnancy. The baby was Rho, G‐positive and had mild hemolytic disease with a positive direct antiglobulin test. The mother's titer was 1:1024 at delivery, dropping to 1:8 after 14 months. The baby's direct antiglobulin test became negative after two months. The mother most likely became sensitized alter a blood transfusion five years prior.
