rcurrie Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 How did the baby have enough maternal anti-A,B to react with the transfused cells, but not have ABO HDFN? Mabel, That baby was such a mess we couldn't tell much of anything. On top of that, the baby was transferred to Dallas, and I never did find out the final outcome.

Yanxia Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I guess the baby have ABO HDFN and other type of HDFN. In the newborn's blood stream, the cells with stronger A&B antigens had been destroyed,so it have a temporary balance.The transfused cells destroyed more than the newborn's cells because the adult's cells have stronger A&B antigens than newborn's.Maybe the strong DAT is not due to ABO antibodies.
