Abstract
VAN LOGHEM and his colleagues1 and Stratton et al. 2 have each reported a case in which a patient's group A antigen became weakened during the course of an illness. Salmon et al. 3 observed a similar case in which the red cells showed a ‘double-cell population’. We have had the opportunity to observe a further example of weakening of the A antigen, with double-cell population, and, in addition, a partial reversion towards normal during a temporary clinical remission.
