Dia is one of the most clinically significant low-prevalence antigens in the Diego blood group system, since antibodies to Dia have, albeit rarely, been implicated in hemolytic transfusion reactions and hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). Given the geographical association, most anti-Dia HDFN cases have been reported in Japan, China, and Poland. We describe a case of HDFN in a neonate born to a 36-year-old G4P2012 woman of self-identified Hispanic ethnicity and of South American descent with multiple negative antibody detection tests in a U.S. hospital. Upon delivery, a cord blood direct antiglobulin test was positive (3+ reactivity), and neonatal bilirubin levels were moderately elevated, but phototherapy and transfusion were not required. This case highlights a rare, unexpected cause of HDFN in the United States secondary to anti-Dia, given the near-universal absence of this antigen and antibody in most U.S. patient populations. The case also demonstrates the need for awareness of antibodies to antigens that are considered "low-prevalence" in most populations but that might be encountered more frequently in specific racial or ethnic groups and may require more extensive testing.
