Abstract
- Blood types are very important because they are associated with blood transfusion, the diagnosis of hematological diseases and the related diseases. Rh system is a major blood group system as ABO system. Major Rh antigen is Rh (D) antigen. Minor Rh antigens are Rh (C), (c), (E), (e) antigen. Most of people have Rh (C), (c), (E), (e) antigen but some people don't have these antigens. The hematologists call this blood type -D-/-D- blood phenotype. -D-/-D- phenotype is blood group that have (D) antigen without (C), (c), (E), (e) Antigen. This blood type is rare throughout the world. Especially, fetal hydops associated with anti-C,-c,-E,-e antibody is very rare. We experienced a case of fetal hydrops associated with anti-C,-c,-E,-e antibodies and report it with a brief of literatures.
