Forgive me for not answering your question (because, frankly I don't know the answer) and let me pose a question. Since I recall that Kell kills and there was something in the far reaches of what I used to call a memory, about if the father was heterozygous it's not so dangerous, what the heck am I having flight of ideas about and does it relate to Kell or other ?bloood type related antibodies. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Looks like it's too late for me. -- Harvey Harvel the Marvel Harvey S. Marchbein, M.D. FACOG, FACS President, Nassau Obstetrical and Gynecological Society, Inc.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
