How erythroblastosis fetalis got its name?
Erythroblastosis fetalis got its name from the presence of erythroblasts, which are immature red blood cells, in the fetal circulation. The condition occurs when there is an incompatibility between the blood types of the mother and fetus, often due to Rh factor incompatibility. This results in the mother's immune system attacking the fetal red blood cells, leading to anemia and other complications. The term "fetalis" denotes its occurrence during fetal development.

What does Rh stands for?
Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-. People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-. People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen) If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.
Is there blood banks in my area with rh blood?
Rh blood is the most complex genetically of all blood types. It is known that a mother who is pregnant and has Rh- and the father has Rh+, it can cause birth defects in the child.

Rh negative blood is rare in the human population because it is a genetic trait that is not as common as Rh positive blood.
