Summary Two hæmolytic transfusion reactions occurred in a patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and were shown to be caused by the development of an immune anti‐Kidd antibody in the patient's serum. The activity of this antibody disappeared when the serum was heated or kept for a short time in a refrigerator, but could be restored by the addition of fresh serum. The antibody was not present in a sample of serum collected from the patient three weeks after the last transfusion.
