Pancytopenia due to suppressed hematopoiesis in a case of fatal hemolytic disease of the newborn associated with anti-K supported by molecular K1 typing.

Abstract excerpt

The authors report on a fatal case of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) due to anti-K antibodies with subsequent trilineage pancytopenia in a preterm infant of 28 weeks gestational age, with pronounced leukopenia and neutropenia. In addition, molecular typing of the Kk polymorphism was necessary to confirm HDN. This case of HDN associated with anti-K provides additional evidence that trilineage pancytopenia...
