[A case report of prolonged hemolytic anemia in an infant due to a partial exchange transfusion]

An infant at the age of one month was admitted to hospital due to anaemia and icterus. Premature delivery was induced because of Rh immunisation. Newborn's grave condition permitted only one "blood volume" exchange transfusion and as a consequence prolonged haemolytic anaemia occurred. At the age of one month anti Rh-D antibody persisted in the infant circulation with the titre 1:16 in an indirect antiglobulin method.
