ABSTRACT

We report a case of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) caused by anti-c antibody. The baby boy presented progressive jaundice on his face and trunk one hour after birth. Total bilirubin of 168.1 μmol/L was detected six hours after birth and positive results of direct antiglobulin test, serum free antibody test, and erythrocyte releasing antibody test were obtained. His blood type was O and RhDCcEe, while his mother was A and RhDCCee. IgG anti-c antibodies were identified in the maternal blood serum with the titer of 1∶4. After phototherapy, immunoglobulin infusion, and medication, the boy was recovered and discharged from the hospital. The boy was normal in both physical and neurobehavioral development at one and three months after discharge.
