Study on Non-invasive Management of Rhesus Alloimmunization | Chapter 5 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

 When a rhesus-negative pregnant woman develops an antibody response to foetal red cell rhesus antigen, this is known as maternal rhesus alloimmunization. Fetal hemolysis, anaemia, and hydrops caused by rhesus alloimmunization result in stillbirth, neonatal morbidity, and mortality. By using ultrasonography Doppler assessment of their peak systolic velocity in the middle cerebral artery (PSV-MCA) and several maternal infusions of intravenous immunoglobulin, we were able to successfully treat two cases of Rh alloimmunization with high anti-D titers (IVIg).
