Factor Linked to Hundreds of Infant Deaths Discovered
Stephen J. McDonough reports a new factor in red blood cells linked to hundreds of infant deaths around birth. A mysterious unidentified substance in cells may poison mothers and trigger a reaction that kills the infant, in a disease called erythroblastosis fetalis. Doctors from Newark and Beth Israel Hospital detail isolating the "Ah" factor and note other unknown killing factors may exist in the bloodstream. The condition affects about one in 100 babies, often resembling an incompatible blood transfusion causing clots and organ failure.
