RE: Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN): Taking a closer look
With regular injections of Anti-D, we managed to save so many babies but the problem is that sometimes an antigen system other than Rhesus may take action and cause a haemolytic disease,,yes it’s rare but it can happen ! Anyway loved your article, very rich and well written :)
Yes it's true, this fact I properly addressed in the article, the Rhesus blood group system also consist of antigens C and E which are also capable of causing haemolysis, even the Lewis antigens can also cause this haemolysis, but this condition is rare, accounting for about 3% of reported cases. Thanks for stopping by.
