Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Hemolytic disease of new born occurs by the condition of ABO incompatibility. In the new born babies, jaundice and anemia are caused often by the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. This hemolysis occurs in infants by agglutinating the infant’s RBC by the mother’s antibody.

Check out a sample textbook solutionStudents have asked these similar questions
a) What are all the possible genotypes of an individual with type A blood? (We are not considering Rh factor for these problems)
b) Marge has type B blood and Homer has type A. What are all the possible blood types that their kids could have?
c) Nikki has type AB blood. She is in a car accident and is critically injured. The hospital is out of all blood except type O. Can Nikki have a transfusion of type O blood? Explain your answer.
In terms of antigens and antibodies, explain why O- is considered a universal donor and why AB+ is considered a universal recipient. Even so, why can’t whole blood O- be donated to a person of type AB+ blood?

- What causes hemolytic disease of the newborn (erythroblastosis fetalis)? Why does the condition not arise in cases of ABO incompatibility?arrow_forwardWhy 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).arrow_forwardIn humans, as well as with many other animals, sex is determined by special sex chromosomes. An individual containing two X chromosomes is a female, while an individual possessing an X and Y chromosome is a male. he sex chromosomes bear alleles for traits. Sex linkage applies to genes that are located on the sex chromosomes. These genes are considered sex-linked because their expression and inheritance patterns differ between males and females. The genes present on the X chromosome are said to be X linked. Many more genes are present on the X chromosome than found on the Y chromosome. Nonetheless, those genes found on the Y chromosome are said to be Y linked. The Y chromosome is smaller than its homologue, the X chromosome. Consequently, most of the loci present on the X chromosome are absent on the Y chromosome. 1. In humans, hemophilia is a sex linked trait. Females can be normal, carriers, or have the disease. Males will have the disease or not (but they won't be ever carriers) XH…arrow_forward

- Draw the antigens on the red blood cell below for someone who is A+. Draw the antibodies for this person in the surrounding plasma. What type of blood can this person receive and why?arrow_forwardIdentify the specific blood type incompatibility shown in Chapter 3 of the animation. Agglutination of donor's A antigens by recipient's anti-A antibodies. Agglutination of donor's B antigens by recipient's anti-B antibodies. Agglutination of donor's A antigens by recipient's anti-B antibodies. ○ Agglutination of donor's B antigens by recipient's anti-A antibodies.arrow_forwardEven though instances of fetal, maternal ABO, incompatibility are common, severe hemolytic disease due to ABO incompatibility is rare. Which of the following best explains this difference? A) ABO incompatibility causes extensive extra medullary hematopoiesis B) antibodies against ABO antigens do not bind complement C) the maternal immune system is tolerant to ABO ANTIGENS D) most anti- A or anti- B antibodies are of IgM type and do not cross the placenta E) the presence of concurrent Rh incompatibility decreases the immunogenicity of erythrocytesarrow_forward
- How would you differentiate sickle cell anemia from thalassemia? Also, describe the connection between mosquitoes and sickle cell trait.arrow_forwardWhat is the correct answerarrow_forwardTrisha has another baby with Johnny (Charlotte's father). Shortly after the birth of this baby, the newborn was immediately transported to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The doctors informed Trisha that this baby was suffering from hemolytic disease of the newborn. Explain (i) how hemolytic disease of the newborn arose in Trisha’s second child, (ii) how it should have been prevented, and (iii) the mechanism of action of the preventative treatment for this condition. Please LABEL the parts of your answer to this question (i), (ii), and (iii).arrow_forward
