dc.description.abstract | Rh alloimmunization refers to the process by which antibodies are produced against the Rh antigens that are found on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). The disease burden is worse in developing countries, where universal anti D prophylaxis for Rh negative mothers is very suboptimal. The annual burden of still birth, neonatal death & severe hyperbilirubinemia is projected to be 41,000, 90,000, and 97,000 respectively. In a recent study at the three teaching hospitals of AAU the prevalence of Rh Alloimmunization is found to be 17.1%. This study provides measured pregnancy outcome for those mothers who are alloimmunized with Rh D antigen. | |
