Abstract

Antenatal haemolysis in association with ABO incompatibility occurs very rarely. Two cases of hydrops fetalis in black infants caused by anti-B haemolysins are reported. The greater severity of ABO incompatibility in black African peoples may have important implications for antibody screening in this ethnic group.
