Abstract
Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn can cause hydrops and
intrauterine death due to fetal anemia. Immunoglobulin and
plasmapheresis have been used to defer blood transfusions to later
gestational ages and treat fetal anemia in patients who were immunized
early in pregnancy, with different success.
