Abstract

Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn is a disease that is caused by maternal alloantibodies to the fetus. In the literature, the frequency of hemolytic disease of the newborn due to Rh (D) sensitization decreased inversely with the increase in the use of anti-D gammaglobulin. However, the importance of minor blood group incompatibilities has increased in the etiology. Clinical presentation in patients with minor blood group incompatibility may vary from subclinical hemolysis findings to active hemolysis and hyperbilirubinemia requiring blood exchange. In this case study, we present a patient with hemolytic anemia due to anti-c antibody incompatibility.
