[Management of Rhesus isoimmunization. Viewpoint of the obstetrician]
1Service de gynécologie-obstétrique II, hôpital de Hautepierre, Hôpitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg, France.
Abstract:
Although rare, severe forms of Rhesus isoimmunization are still observed. Early diagnosis and treatment with intrauterine transfusions allow an 80% survival rate. Anti-D alloimmunizations usually result from missed prophylaxis with anti-D serum at delivery, thus underlying the need for a rigorous application of this prophylaxis.
