Rh alloimmunization and term delivery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays management of severe Rh alloimmunization consists of serial determination of middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity, amniocentesis, cordocentesis, and in many instances intrauterine transfusion. We present a case of severe Rh alloimmunization who, for the first time in Iran, was delivered at term after several intrauterine transfusions.

BACKGROUND Possible immunization to blood group or other antigens and subsequent inhibition of remodeling or incorporation after use of untreated human bone allograft was described previously. This study presents the immunological, clinical and radiological results of 30 patients with acetabular revisions using fresh frozen non-irradiated bone allograft. METHODS AB0-incompatible (donor-recipi...
متن کاملRh isoimmunization in Sub-Saharan Africa indicates need for universal access to anti-RhD immunoglobulin and effective management of D-negative pregnancies
Transplacental or fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) may occur during pregnancy or at delivery and lead to immunization to the D antigen if the mother is Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive. This can result in hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) in subsequent D-positive pregnancies. The aim of this study is to highlight the challenges associated with the effective management and pr...

متن کاملWhole-exome sequencing for RH genotyping and alloimmunization risk in children with sickle cell anemia.
RH genes are highly polymorphic and encode the most complex of the 35 human blood group systems. This genetic diversity contributes to Rh alloimmunization in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and is not avoided by serologic Rh-matched red cell transfusions. Standard serologic testing does not distinguish variant Rh antigens. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based DNA arrays detect many...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of red blood cell alloimmunization in sickle cell disease despite transfusion from Rh-matched minority donors.
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a key treatment of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) but remains complicated by RBC immunization. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of antigen matching for Rh D, C, and E, and K and transfusion from African American donors in 182 patients with SCD. Overall, 71 (58%) chronic and 9 (15%) episodically transfused patients were alloimmunized. Fi...
