A Case of a Newborn With Blocked RhD Antigen and HDFN

Abstract: A group O RhD-negative pregnant patient with anti-D antibody at titer 1:2048 delivered a baby boy by cesarean section at 38 + 6 weeks gestational age. The neonate typed as group O, but D antigen was at first uncertain. DAT and antibody screen of newborn were both positive. Various assays were used for D antigen determination. Ultimately, D antigen blocked by high-titer maternal anti-D antibody was confirmed. Total bilirubin of the newborn was 52.7 umol/L, and hemoglobin was 1.46 mg/dL. O RhD-negative red cells… Show more

“…Where it does occur, the IgG antibody is usually of a titer higher than 256. 7,14,15 The lowest titer causing blocked K antigens reported in the literature to date is 128. 10 Titration values can provide information about the relative amount of antibody present in a serum sample or the relative strength of antigen expression on RBCs.…”

“…Los anticuerpos formados a partir de la inmunización por este sistema son de tipo inmunoglobulinas G1 y G3, 32 los cuales atraviesan la placenta a través la porción Fc de la Ig a partir del segundo trimestre de embarazo, 33 pero gracias al uso de Ig anti-D, propuesta como forma de prevención contra dicha inmunización en mujeres Rh negativo aún no sensibilizadas, ha logrado reducir la incidencia de EHFRN inducida por RhD. 17,34 A pesar de que tanto el sistema ABO y el sistema Rh sean los más prevalentes para desarrollar esta enfermedad, 35 también se encuentras otros antígenos poco frecuentes que también tienen la capacidad de generar una inmunización. Entre esos se encuentra sistema Kell, Duffy, MNSS, Lewis y Kidd.…”
