How Rhesus didease can be prevented or cured?
Rhesus disease can be prevented during pregnancy with the treatment of Rho-gam injections. If the mother is not treated during pregnancy, the infant is treated with phototherapy and blood transfusions when necessary.
Why does haemolytic disease of the newborn not occur in rhesus positive mothers with a rhesus negative baby?
HDN only occurs in rhesus negative women who have been sensitized by positive blood. Rhesus positive mother can have a rhesus negative baby. In rhesus positive group, they have the antigen Rh. When this antigen from baby enters mother's blood circulation, because of inutero bleed in pregnancy; mother's blood cells will react to the foreign antigen and produce antibodies which are harmful to the baby's blood cells when they cross the placenta and enter baby's blood stream. These antibodies will break baby's blood cells down causing haemolytic disease. Whereas in rhesus positive mother with negative baby, if baby's blood enters mother's circultaion it will not produce any antibodies as there are no antigens in Rh negative blood. And if mother's blood mixes with baby's blood in the womb, baby will not have the ability to produce antibodies as their immune system is not developed. So there is no chance for haemolytic disease.

What blood types would your parents have to be to have a child with A positive blood type?
Discounting rare but possible mutations the following holds true. Parents blood groups A and A, A and B, A and O, B and B, B and O, O and O can produce type O blood in their children. The rhesus factor (Rhesus positive/rhesus negative) depends on the rhesus pairing in the parents as follows: Father rhesus positive, mother rhesus positive or rhesus negative = rhesus positive or rhesus negative Father rhesus negative, mother rhesus positive = rhesus positive or rhesus negative Father rhesus negative, mother rhesus negative = rhesus negative Example: A rhesus positive father and rhesus positive mother of blood type A and O respectively could produce an O positive child, as could a rhesus positive father and rhesus negative mother both of blood group O.
