Abstract:
Two infants with hemolytic disease of the newborn due to Kell incompatibility are described. The peripheral blood smears revealed many spherocytes. This important hematologic sign in a neonate suggests not only ABO incompatibility, hereditary spherocytosis, or G6PD deficiency, but also the possibility of Kell incompatibility.
