Two cases are described in this report in which patients with anti‐Chido in the serum were transfused with Chido‐positive blood. Since there was evidence of normal survival of the transfused red blood cells, these findings do not support a suggestion that patients with anti‐Chido may require transfusion with Chido‐negative blood. In spite of the apparently normal survival of the Chido‐positive blood, a previous report in which it was shown that weakly Chido‐positive blood can stimulate the production of anti‐Chido was confirmed.
