Abstrakt: During routine ante-natal testing during the period 1953-73 anti-c was found in the serum of 63 women. Twenty-four of them had received blood transfusion previously and of these 22 were multigravidae. In 39 women pregnancies alone were responsible for the immunization. The anti-c titres of the 42 women giving birth to c positive babies showed that the probability of developing haemolytic disease increases with higher titres. But low titres by no means exclude the existence of such disease. Among the 42 c positive babies 32 had a positive direct antiglobulin test. Some of the affected infants had a serious degree of haemolytic disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
