A newborn infant developed red blood cell sensitization due to anti‐D following administration of immune serum globulin (human). The lot of administered immune serum globulin contained an unexpectedly high titer of anti‐D. This should stimulate passage of federal regulations requiring absence of significant levels of blood group antibodies in such products.
