Abstract
HÆMOLYTIC disease of the new-born is now well recognized in the human subject and is known to be due to iso-immunization of the mother by fœtal red cell antigens of the Rh group. Within the past few years the condition has been observed in foals1,2; but so far as we are aware, its existence as a naturally occurring disease has not yet been established in any other species, although the possibility of a comparable pathogenesis in other animals has been suggested.
