In erythroblastosis fetalis, what combination of blood types between the mother and child would require RhoGam administration?
What Rh antigen is present in the red blood cells of this type of blood?
Why might erythroblastosis fetalis occur when an
Rh- mother becomes pregnant with a second Rh+
baby (after exposure to the previous Rh+ baby's
blood)?
A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur
when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant
with an Rh- baby.
B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother
has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the
mom produces can cross the placenta and
attack the baby's blood.
C) The Rh- mother always produces
antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so
erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that
can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or
subsequent).
