Js b negative antigen occurs in about 1 per cent of Negroes and has not been reported in Caucasians. This report presents what appears to be the first published case of hemolytic disease of the newborn due to anti‐Js b . The disease was mild and no exchange transfusions were required despite a fairly high maternal anti‐Js b titer. Potential transfusion problems are discussed.
