Fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) is usually detected by either the Kleihauer-Betke
(KB) test or by 2 cytometry, the latter of which represents the gold standard of
FMH diagnosis today. But what do we do when neither method is available? We
present two cases of suspected FMH due to their characteristic signs and
symptoms that were ultimately confirmed by hemoglobin electrophoresis (HE).
