Overview

Haemolytic disease of the foetus and new-born due to anti-K antibodies is rare, but can cause severe foetal anaemia. Correct evaluation of immune-haematological tests is essential for providing proper treatment. One of the complications of laboratory testing can be a false negative result of erythrocyte antigen typing in a sample of foetal or new-born blood, due to an antibody blocking the antigen. This can be suspected in the event of a strongly positive direct antiglobulin test and the absence of the antigen corresponding to the identified antibody. This case report describes the situation we encountered when preparing an intrauterine transfusion for a pregnant woman with a Kell positive foetus and an anti-K antibody.

Keywords:

haemolytic disease of the foetus and new-born – red blood cell antibodies – blocked antigen – maternal anti-K
