    Summary

    This study presents a management program for Rh0 (D) immunization in pregnancy. Most infants had mild hemolytic disease, avoiding exchange transfusions and showing no adverse outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Neonatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Rh0 (D) immunization during pregnancy poses risks to newborns, potentially causing hemolytic disease.
    • Effective management strategies are crucial for improving infant outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a management program for Rh0 (D) immunized pregnancies.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of D-positive newborns born to D-immunized mothers.

    Main Methods:

    • A 4.5-year study involving 34,650 births, identifying 63 D-positive newborns to D-immunized mothers.
    • Infant outcomes were assessed based on the severity of hemolytic disease.
    • Treatment modalities included observation, exchange transfusion, and maternal plasma exchange.

    Main Results:

    • 43 mild cases (68.3%) did not require exchange transfusion.
    • 14 infants (22.2%) needed exchange transfusion.
    • 6 severe cases (9.5%) underwent maternal plasma exchange and exchange transfusion, with no adverse effects or deaths.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented management program effectively controlled and treated Rh0 (D) hemolytic disease.
    • Individualized plasma exchange therapy, monitored by maternal anti-D levels, is recommended.
    • No detrimental effects or deaths were observed in affected infants.
