Rare Type Of Blood
Fails 10 Save Baby
After 50-Hour Fiqhf

A 50-hour fight for life, aided by
a TRANSMISSION of the rare RH mega
tive type Az blood proved fruitless
for boy born late Friday night at
Sibley Hospital. The baby died at
2:2O am. today from erythroblas-
tosis foetalis, rare blood disorder.
The disease, a manifestation of
anemia in which there is an alb
normal number of nucleated red
cells, proves fatal in nearly 80 per
cent of all cases, according to DIR.
Philip A. Degnan, the attending
physician.
The 7-pound 11-ounce boy, one of
twins, was given a $3.50 chance to
survive by DR.. Degnan when born
to Mrs. Daniel Hogue. He noticed
the baby appeared jaundiced and
further examination revealed the
rare blood condition in which the
normal amount of nucleated red
cells is exceeded approximately 1000
times. DR.. Degnan said the high
percentage of such cells interferes
with other cell functions, and
indirectly produces progressive
anemia.
Walter Reed Supplies Blood.
The TRANSMISSION, from the blood
bank at Walter Reed General Hos
pital, was administered shortly be-
fore noon yesterday and within a
very safe margin of time to be effec-
tive, hospital officials said. There
were additional amounts of the
necessary type Of blood available if
required, they added. RH negative
type Az blood is said to be normally
found in less than 10 persons in
every 1000.
Before it was ascertained that the
type OF blood required was available
calls for donors were broadcast by
The Star over Station WMAL and
many persons responded. although
none had the type required. The
Naval Hospital at Bethesda. Md, re-
ported, however, that it had donor
with RH negative type A blood, but
that it would have to be matched
with that of the infant to determine
whether the classification was No
or 2.
Other Boy Healthy.
DR.. Degnan termed the case of the
Hogue infant as remarkable" in
that the blood disease did not affect
the infants twin. who was found to
possess normal, positive type blood
and is described by the physician as
being in good health. Ordinarily. in
the birth of twins, the affliction
might affect both. he explained.
DR.. Degnan said the 22-year-old
mother required plasma injections
after the birth, but her condition
was said to be improving,
The children were the first born
