RESUMEN
We report a case of hemolytic disease of the newborn caused by anti-Mia (Miltenberger) antibody. Full term male infant was admitted due to hyperbilirubinemia on second day of life. Total serum bilirubin level was 8.6 mg/dL at 12 hours of age and 12.3 mg/dL at 24 hours of age. The blood group of patient and his mother were both RhD positive B type. Direct antiglobulin test was strongly positive in the patient, and testing of maternal serum and patient's serum against a red cell panel including cells known to carry the antigenic determinants of some Miltenberger phenotypes revealed the presence of anti-Mia . Testing of paternal red cells and patient's red cell against anti-Mia serum revealed positive reaction. This report documents the first case of hemolytic disease of the newborn due to anti-Mi a in Korea.
