Question
Chapter 18, Problem 2SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
Why the hemolytic disease is not susceptible to a newborn with Rh- born to a Rh+ve mother.
Introduction:
Each person has different blood types when compared with others. Blood grouping is based on the ABO test and Rh test. People carry any one type of antigen in their red blood cells. The people with A antigens are grouped under A and people with B antigens are placed under B. The person with no antigen is placed under O group. Rh antigens are present in the red blood cells of the human. About 85% of humans have Rh+ve and 15% have Rh–ve antigens.

Students have asked these similar questions
How is Rh incompatibility involved in hemolytic disease of the newborn? Is the mother Rh+ or Rh-? Is the fetus Rh+ or Rh-? Why is a second child that is Rh+ more susceptible to attack from the mother’s immune system.
Why might erythroblastosis fetalis occur when an
Rh- mother becomes pregnant with a second Rh+
baby (after exposure to the previous Rh+ baby's
blood)?
A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur
when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant
with an Rh- baby.
B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother
has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the
mom produces can cross the placenta and
attack the baby's blood.
C) The Rh- mother always produces
antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so
erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that
can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or
subsequent).
Describe the disease associated with an Rh-negative mother and an Rh-positive baby. How is it prevented in the United States?
