A patient with Hodgkin's disease is described, whose first pregnancy was complicated by warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia and anti‐e allo‐immunization probably due to previously transfused blood. Therapy with large doses of prednisone produced a reduction in both autoantibody and allo‐antibody titers, and the patient was subsequently delivered of an infant having only mild hemolytic disease of the newborn.
