Intrauterine transfusion in Rh-isoimmunization.
Fifteen per cent. of all cases of Rh-isoimmunization end in stillbirth. Until 1963 the only available means of preventing this outcome in cases with a high risk of stillbirth was to deliver the foetus prematurely before intrauterine death had occurred. The value of this was limited, because many intrauterine deaths due to haemolytic disease of the newborn occur early in pregnancy, and because i...
متن کاملRhesus Isoimmunization and Therapeutic
SIRy-Mr. W. L. Whitehouse (21 June, p. 759), like myself' and many others, again calls attention to the potential dangers of rhesus isoimmunization in therapeutic abortion. He asks that the extent of this problem be further and scientifically investigated. There are, in fact, one or two further facets to be considered. Firstly, all of us are aware of the numbers of women whose first continuing ...
متن کاملThe Rh blood group system: a review
The Rh blood group system is one of the most polymorphic and immunogenic systems known in humans. In the past decade, intense investigation has yielded considerable knowledge of the molecular background of this system. The genes encoding 2 distinct Rh proteins that carry C or c together with either E or e antigens, and the D antigen, have been cloned, and the molecular bases of many of the anti...
متن کاملRhesus isoimmunization after abortion.
Out of 177 Rh(D)-negative patients studied, 96 were successfully followed-up after spontaneous or therapeutic abortion. Rh antibodies were detected by the indirect Coombs test in two patients and by an enzyme technique only in a further seven, an overall incidence of 9.4%.The prophylactic use of anti-D immunoglobulin is now recommended for Rh-negative non-immunized patients undergoing abortion,...
متن کاملBiochemistry of the erythrocyte Rh polypeptides: a review.
The clinically important Rh blood group system is complex, consisting of multiple distinct antigens. Despite clinical recognition for over 50 years, the Rh blood group antigens have remained poorly understood on a molecular level until the recent identification and characterization of the "Rh polypeptides," the core structural proteins of the Rh antigens. This group of erythrocyte membrane prot...
