<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">A woman whose serum contained multiple alloanti-bodies delivered a full-term infant with mild hemolytic disease of the newborn. The direct antiglobulin test performed on the cord cells was positive with monospecific anti-IgG. An acid elution performed on the cord cells yielded anti-Cob. These findings were consistent with the presence of anti-Cob in the maternal serum. Neonatal clinical findings showed a mildly affected infant who demonstrated a moderate rise in total bilirubin and slight jaundice. The infant experienced no further complications and was discharged.</abstract>
