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.
