Abstrakt: The brown-tinted amniotic fluid of an Rh-negative mother, after artificial insemination with Rh-negative donor semen, was shown to contain metheme pigments. Although the spectrophotometric evaluation (ΔOD450) of the contaminated fluid was normal, the chemically determined bilirubin concentration correctly indicated the presence of hemolytic disease of the fetus, which was later shown to be Rh positive.
