This URL leads to a very good article on erythroblastosis fetalis, i couldn't put in the full text, as it is copyrighted, but the website seems very good, this should help you
What else can I help you with?
Erythroblastosis fetalis can be prevented by treating?
Erythroblastosis fetalis can be prevented by treating Rh incompatibility between the mother and fetus. This involves giving the mother Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg) during pregnancy and after delivery to prevent her immune system from producing antibodies against the baby's red blood cells.
Why does the first born child not have erythroblastosis fetalis?
The first child born of a female is generally not at risk for erythroblastosis fetalis because the mother's immune system has not been exposed to the fetal blood antigens and therefore has not produced antibodies against it. However, by the second pregnancy there is a slight risk if the blood type of the fetus is not compatible with the mother's blood type.
Which baby gets erythroblastosis fetalis?
The second baby, normally. Erythroblastosis Foetalis is when a baby with a positive blood group is born to a mother of a negative blood group, and the mother has been 'sensitized' during a previous pregnancy. The mother's body identifies the fetus as a 'foreign' protein and her body's immune system tries to fight the foreign protein, much like an allergic reaction.
Can a mom with Rh positive blood have an Rh positive baby?
The most severe form of erythroblastosis fetalis is that resulting from Rh incompatibility. But you can have erythroblastosis fetalis with ABO incompatibility as well. And this can occur with any child, even the first, and even with an Rh-negative child. However, if you're referring to Rh-incompatibility erythroblastosis fetalis, the answer to your question is, "Not usually" (assuming she hasn't had a previous Rh-positive child). In Rh-incompatibility, erythroblastosis fetalis occurs with the woman's second Rh-positive child. The first Rh-positive child's blood gets into the mother's bloodstream (e.g. at childbirth). The mother's blood makes antibodies to Rh. Since the first child is already born, this does not affect the first child. Then, when she has a second Rh-positive child, her antibodies cross the placenta and attack that child's blood cells. On the other hand, if the mother is exposed to the Rh factor of the first child's blood earlier in the pregnancy somehow, then I suppose she could develop enough antibodies to cause a problem for that first child.
What condition is RHO Gam used to prevent in successive pregnancies of Rh negative mothers?
RHO Gam is used to prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn in cases of Rh incompatibility between the mother and fetus. It works by preventing the mother's immune system from producing antibodies that could harm the baby in future pregnancies.
Erythroblastosis fetalis can be prevented by treating what?
jnun
Why does a disparity in ABO blood group system reduce risk of erythroblastosis fetalis?
What is Erythroblastosis?
What has the author Maija Kirves written?
Maija Kirves has written: 'Psychological development of Rh-children' -- subject(s): Developmental psychobiology, Erythroblastosis fetalis, Psychological aspects, Psychological aspects of Erythroblastosis fetalis, Rh factor
Which class of immunoglobulin is responsible for the development of erythroblastosis fetalis?
IgG is the class of immunoglobulin responsible for the development of erythroblastosis fetalis. It can cross the placenta from a mother who is Rh-negative to a fetus who is Rh-positive, leading to hemolytic disease in the newborn.
What is the frequency of erythroblastosis fetalis in the US?
erythroblastosis is a very serious condition for approximately 4,000 babies annually. In about 15% of cases, the baby is severely affected and dies before birth.
Which class of antibody produced by a pregnant woman may attack RBCs in her fetus resulting in erythroblastosis fetalis?
IgG molecules.
What conditions are present when hemolytic disease of the newborn occurs?
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is known as erythroblastosis fetalis
Who is the most harmed when erythroblastosis fetalis occurs?
Erythroblastosis fetalis is a potentially life threatening blood disorder in fetus or new born infant. It happens when the mother possesses Rh negative blood where the foetus posses Rh positive blood which turns it weak anaemic nd jaundiced or in severe case death of the foetus occurs..

What is the result if the father is type a negative and the mother is type o?
Well there is an ABO and Rh incompatibility, then baby is at risk of jaundice or erythroblastosis fetalis.
