Bombay phenotype (Oh) and high‐titer anti‐H in pregnancy: two case reports and a review of the literature

Antenatal cases of Bombay‐phenotype (Oh) individuals and hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) are not well described in the literature. We present two case reports of high‐titer anti‐H in pregnant Oh individuals and their serologic investigation, clinical management, and subsequent outcomes. We describe current published cases detailing pregnancy in Oh individuals, to add to the evidence base for clinical decision making and management of pregnancy.
