Williams has a big table and it says hemolytic disease is mild to severe in anti-M. Repeat antibody screen today was negative. I'll repeat it again at 16 wks.

I just had my first pt with anti-M; she's now 20 weeks. There is (I believe) only one case report of an affected baby of a mother with anti-M. In general anti-M is of no clinical significance; titers are probably not necessary. I am, however, doing them q month just out of curiosity (they have been 1:8 since her first visit at 8 weeks). If she inceased by 2 dilutions, I think I'd get MCA dopplers, mostly out of academic curiosity. The same week I got a new pt with anti Fya. From what I learned in residency "Kell kills, Lewis lives, Duffy dies." Apparently however, this is wrong, too, and Duffy isn't a big deal either. I'm doing the same with her; she's still too low to titrate.

Any suggestions of what to do next? Timing of next titer? If less than 1/32 would you do nothing? Thanks, Glen Never miss a thing.
