ABSTRACT
The Kidd (Jk) system is one of the most important blood group systems in transfusion medicine due to immediate or delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions as well as hemolytic disease of newborn (HDN). We experienced a case of jaundice and hemolytic anemia in a newborn due to anti-Jk(b) incompatibility appearing within the first 24 hours of life. The infant's direct and indirect antiglobulin tests were positive. There were no ABO and Rh (D) incompatibilities between the mother and the baby. Direct Coomb's IgG was strongly positive but C3d was negative. We started the exchange transfusion with the whole blood and had a favorable outcome. We report this case with a brief review of relevant literature.
