Abstract:
Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) caused by anti-M is rare and clinical manifestations are variable ranging from mild anemia and hyperbilirubinemia to hydrops fetalis and intrauterine fetal death. There were few reports of HDN caused by anti-M in Korea but no case in siblings. We experienced a case of 2 male siblings, both of whom had anti-M induced HDN and prolonged anemia persisted for over a month. We report this case with a brief review of literature. This report documents the first case of HDN caused by anti-M in siblings in Korea.
