Successful management of severe Kell alloimmunization in pregnancy with intravenous immune globulin.

Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN) is a condition that affects 1 to 2 out of 1000 patients during pregnancy (1). When an alloantibody is present, it is essential to identify its nature in order to organize appropriate follow-up. Kell-mediated HDFN is rare; it occurs in about 5% of Kell alloimmunized pregnant women.
