Although the Kell antigen is seen on the red cells of only 9% of the general population, attention to Kell antibodies continues to increase. CASE REP...

Erythroblastosis Fetalis in the First-born Prevention of Its Most Severe Forms

By PHILIP LEVINE, M.D., AND R. K.

Intracranial hemorrhage in neonates with erythroblastosis fetalis: sonographic and CT findings.

Cranial sonography revealed cerebral hemorrhage in three of seven neonates with erythroblastosis fetalis. Among the three infants with hemorrhage, one was 28 weeks gestational age and experienced germinal matrix hemorrhage with ventricular extension, a finding typical of cerebroventricular hemorrhage in the premature population. The other two infants with intracranial hemorrhage were more gesta...
