Abstract
Anti-Js(b) has not been reported to cause severe hemolytic disease of the newborn requiring intrauterine evaluation and treatment. We now report on such a patient with high-titered anti-Js(b) causing fetal hydrops with demise in one pregnancy, followed by a pregnancy treated with multiple intrauterine fetal transfusions.
