The isoimmune hemolytic disease of newborn due to the minor blood groups is characterized by the progressive neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and anemia. This is caused by the lgG antibody transmitted from the mother to the fetus across the placenta. ABO and Rho(D) incompatability have been the most common antibody responsible for hemolytic disease of newborn. But recently the incidence of the Rho(D) incompatability is decreased due to the prophylaxis of anti-D immunoglobulin for the Rh negative mother and that of the incompataibility of minor blood group seems to be increased. This report presents the clinical and hematologic features of four cases of hemolytic diseases of newborn due to minor blood group isoimmunization who were admitted to the Dong-guk University Kyung-ju Hospital. The following results were obtained; 1) Neontal hyperbilirubinemia was observed within 48 hours after birth in all cases of patients and disappeared with the treatment of exchange transfusion and phototherapy. 2) Total bilirubin levels were 6.7-24.8 mg/dl. 3) Direct Coombs' test was positive in all cases of patients and indirect Coombs' test was positive except case 3. Direct Coombs' test was negative and indirect Coombs' test was positive in all mothers. 4) There was no evidence of ABO or Rh(D) incompatibility in all cases of patients. Case 1, 2 and 4 had the hemolytic diseases of newborn due to anti-E isoimmunization anti-E, but case 3 had the hemolytic diseases of newborn due to anti-C isoimmunization. 5) According to the reports which was published to date, 23 cases of the hemolytic diseases of newborn due to minor blood group isoimmunization were revealed; 14 anti-E, 4 anti-c, 1 anthE or c, 1 anti-C, 1 anti-e, 1 anti-M, and 1 anti-Kidd. Therefore we can easily conclude that anti-E is the most common cause of hemolytic diseases of newborn due to minor blood group isoimmunization in Korea. So, we report this case with the brief review of relevant literatures.

The author performed a therapeutic lamellar keratoplasty on January 30, 1958, at 5th ROK Army Hospital, for a 24-year-old korean soldier who had persistent unnown corneal ulcer with neovascularization of the right eye during 5yrs months before operation, the ulcer had resisted to the conservative treatments. Donor cornea was a cadaver material removed 5 hours after death and preserved 19 hours at 4 degrees C, until the cornea was used. A 7 mm triphine, with the guard fixed at 0.6 mm in depth was used. Two months after operation the graft was well heald and was transparant with sligh haxiness except for some thick haziness at the lower pupilmargin to the limbus where it had been deeply ulcerated. the vision improved from perception of hand moving to 0.03 of Landolt chart. There was no evidenc of vascularization or ulceration after 5 month of ovservation.

The author have reported a case of exophthalmos due to orbital dermoid cyst. The cyst was removed by Orbitotomy and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course with good recovery of exophthalmos. On the fiftieth postoperative day, the patient has recovered vision from 0.08 to 0.8 without correction.
